South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) provides a range of emergency, urgent and non-urgent patient care to the populations of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire as well as providing non-emergency patient transport services across Surrey and Sussex.  We employ 4,700 staff, who, along with our 900 volunteers enable us to deliver care 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

We are looking to recruit 2 Non-Executive Directors to replace current postholders who are approaching the end of their tenure on our board, with a view to starting in post in July of this year, to ensure that we maintain continuity.  Across the two Non‑Executive Director roles, we are seeking expertise in financial skills and organisational development/transformation.

In addition to broad leadership skills, we are seeking a Non-Executive Director with strong financial skills and experience, preferably gained in a large, complex organisation and a Non-Executive Director with skills in organisational change and development given the challenges that lie ahead.

You will need to be a strong strategic thinker who understands the challenges of operating in a Unitary board, who is also able to constructively challenge the executive team in a pressurised and fast paced environment, without becoming involved in operational issues.  You will also need to be politically astute, have a high degree of personal integrity and be aligned to our organisational values and those of the NHS.

We want our Board to have the breadth of experience and are keen to attract candidates who bring diverse perspectives.  We welcome expressions of interest from a wide range of backgrounds and particularly those who are under-represented in the NHS at board level.

To arrange an information conversation about the role please contact Jayne Waller Jayne.Waller@scas.nhs.uk
