University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, Non-executive Directors x2
There are vacancies for two Non-executive Directors (NEDs) at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW). 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.
Essential criteria
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. You will have senior level experience in one or more of the following areas:
Role 1 – General/Clinical
- Senior level experience, ideally but not exclusively, from a clinical background. For example, you may be an allied healthcare professional, or have experience in nursing; or you may have experience in primary care or in local community development. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will sit as a member of the Quality and Safety Committee, or the People and Culture Committee.
Role 2 – Finance
- Recent, relevant finance experience gained within a large and complex organisation and with a financial qualification. It is anticipated that this role will Chair either the Audit and Risk Assurance Committee or the Finance and Performance Committee.
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).
The best boards are those that reflect the workforce and communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from local black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, and people with disabilities, who we know are all under-represented in these important roles.
Applicants should live in or have strong connections with the area served by the Trust.
