Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust and The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, Non-executive Directors
Currently, there are two vacancies for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, and Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust, (one NED per Trust). This follows the Trusts’ agreement to form ‘Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Community and Hospitals NHS Group’ in April 2026.
This is an exciting time to join the organisations and provides an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Group.
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 recent and relevant corporate financial experience in a Board level position in a large and complex organisation. We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with a wider range of experiences that may additionally include commercial or strategy roles. There is scope for successful individuals to become Chair of one of the two Trusts’ Audit Committees.
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.
