Newcastle Hospitals is one of the busiest and largest NHS foundation trusts in the country, with around 16,000 staff and an annual budget of £1.7 billion.

We have a strong history of providing high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation regionally, nationally and internationally.

We’re in the top five providers of specialised health services in the country. We support people with a range of rare and complex medical, surgical and neurological conditions, cancers and genetic orders.

It is an important time for our Trust as we are increasingly working together with Northumbria Healthcare, Gateshead Health and North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trusts as the Great North Healthcare Alliance (‘the Alliance’) to deliver excellence in healthcare.

We are seeking to appoint an Associate Non-executive Director (NED) with financial management experience. To facilitative effective succession planning, it is intended that when the current finance NED concludes their term of office in July 2026, the successful candidate will move into the role. This will be subject to a satisfactory appraisal outcome at month 6 and a recommendation from the Chair to the Nominations Committee, and in turn to the Council of Governors, for appointment as finance NED.

The Associate NED role supports the Board succession strategy and helps us to achieving a balance of skills. Whilst the Associate NEDs cannot participate in any formal vote at Board, they are very much an equal voice in discussion.
