Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, Non-executive Director x3 and Associate Non-executive Director x2

Rare opportunities to join the Board of a CQC-rated ‘Outstanding’ NHS healthcare provider.

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust has a reputation as one of the most respected organisations in the NHS. Recent years have seen the trust develop outstanding standards of care to populations in Kent, Medway, East Sussex and North East London, and we play an influential role in our local integrated care system (ICS). The trust has developed a reputation not only for better patient outcomes, but as one of the best places to work in the NHS, with a culture that celebrates innovation, empowers and inspires staff and engages patients.

Community services will be at the very heart of the re-design that will deliver NHS health and social care services more effectively in the future and we believe there has never been a more exciting time to join our Board.

The Opportunities

We have three non-executive director roles available, due to tenures of our current colleagues coming to an end. In these roles we are looking for people who have either a clinical, finance, or other business background to make sure we have the right balance of skills.

We have also chosen to introduce two associate non-executive director roles, having had previous success in this area, to help with succession planning.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about doing their best for patients. We are not just looking for the requisite skills and experience of our non-executive directors; we want to know how they went about it, what they did to achieve the impact or outcome they are claiming.

Importantly candidates will play influential roles in building and maintaining our culture of compassionate and inclusive leadership; and enable our drive to meet the aim of our equality, diversity and inclusion strategy of “leaving no one behind”.

Kent Community Health is actively committed to promoting equal opportunities and diversity. We welcome and encourage applications from all sections of the community and particularly welcome applications from candidates of a black and ethnic minority background as they are under-represented at this level in our organisation.
