United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, Associate Non-executive Director x2
There are vacancies for two Associate Non-executive Directors (ANEDs) to serve on the Board of the Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals Group (LCHG). The Group Board operates as a joint Board between United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS).
The Associate NED role is used successfully in the NHS to support Board succession strategy and achieving a balance of Board level skills. Whilst the Associate NEDs cannot participate in any formal vote at Board, they are very much involved with the formal Board discussion. The successful candidate for the Associate role will be appointed to the Group and may also be considered for appointment as a NED of the Board in future (within two years from initial appointment), should a vacancy arise and they have the appropriate skills.
This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Trust.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We aim for diversity within the Group, across their workforce and in their leadership team. It is important to the Group that their workforce represents the community of Lincolnshire that they serve and would particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people that are under-represented in their current Board membership.
Essential criteria
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services.
The applicants must have experience of successfully implementing strategy and delivering organisational change in complex and highly regulated environments.
As a future NHS leader, the successful candidates will be able to demonstrate that they meet the NHS leadership competency framework for board members (please see the candidate information pack below for the six domains). The competency domains are aligned to Our NHS People Promise, Our Leadership Way and the Seven Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles).
