North West London Acute Provider Group (APG), Joint Non-executive Director x2
We are looking to appoint two new Non-executive Directors (NED) over the coming months, as existing board members reach the end of their terms of office. Under our Group governance structure, each Non-executive Director is a member of the board of two of our trusts and, therefore, a member of the Group’s board in common.
We’re looking for forward-thinking individuals from a range of backgrounds to help four organisations achieve their full potential.
As the four organisations continue to make progress and come together in a Group model, we are looking for experienced, committed individuals with great drive and determination to provide the oversight and guidance that will help all of the organisations to achieve their full potential.
Essential criteria
The roles that we are looking to fill are:
Post 1
A lead NED for Finance and Performance at The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (THHFT), working closely with the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (the role requires financial qualification or strong financial experience).
Member of the Board in Common on behalf of THHFT and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT)
Post 2
A lead NED for People at THHFT working closely with the Chief People Officer
Member of the Board in Common on behalf of THHFT and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (CWFT)
Further details about the roles and the committees the successful candidates will join are included in the information pack.
We want to appoint a diverse mix of highly capable and credible board-level or equivalent leaders with a sustained track record of success in relevant sectors whether public, private or not-for-profit. While we welcome applications from individuals with a broad range of skills, we are particularly seeking candidates with financial or local authority experience for the first role or complex workforce change experience for the second role. You will be a visible and effective role model, demonstrating collaborative leadership behaviours and providing strategic vision, constructive challenge and support.
We are keen to hear from those who share the organisations vision and ambition. We value and promote diversity and believe that the best boards are those that reflect the workforce and communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and people with disabilities. As such, we are open to appointing people who have gained their resilience and experience outside of the usual settings and who can bring fresh thinking to the boards.
