The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, Non-executive Director x2

The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust is an innovative, integrated healthcare organisation with c. 5,000 dedicated staff providing excellent patient care to a population of over 270,000 people in the Rotherham area through impressive modern facilities at Rotherham Hospital, as well as community-based sites and in our patients homes. As a member of the Rotherham Place Partnership and South Yorkshire Integrated Care System, we are actively working with system partners, notably in our well-established partnership with Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, with whom we have a joint Chief Executive. We want all of our people to be proud to work in a compassionate and inclusive organisation that delivers excellent healthcare for our patients.

At this exciting time, we are seeking to appoint two values-driven and inspiring Non-executive Directors to our dynamic Board. Accountable to the public and our membership through our dedicated Council of Governors, these roles will provide oversight, governance, leadership and scrutiny. As Board members, you will demonstrate compassion for our staff and the communities we serve, promote the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance, and offer independent challenge and support. Most importantly, you will role model our values of Ambitious, Caring, and Together.

These roles require exceptional individuals; strategic leaders with Board level or equivalent experience gained in complex, changing, and multi-stakeholder environments either in the private, public or third sector. For the Non-executive role whilst previous Non-executive Director experience is not essential, significant transformational leadership experience at scale will allow you to quickly add impact and value to our agenda.

We are particularly seeking one candidate with a clinical background, and one with a strategic finance background.

In order to further strengthen our partnership with Barnsley Hospital NHS FT, we would like to appoint one candidate with strong experience and understanding of our partner trust and the communities it serves.
