Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, Non-executive Director x2 and Associate Non-executive Director
There are vacancies for two Non-executive Directors (NED) and an Associate NED at Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust (HWHC). 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 of the following areas:
NED 1: Recent, relevant finance experience gained in a large and complex organisation, with the capacity to Chair the Finance & Performance Committee
NED 2: People / HR background with change management / organisational development expertise gained at a strategic level, with the capacity to Chair the People and Culture Committee
Associate NED: Experience gained in private, public, voluntary, community or charity sectors with experience of either workforce development, strategic planning, finance, risk, performance management or service development. A strong track record in partnership working across a range of stakeholders would also be advantageous.
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.
