Vacancy Description
Ref: N1818
East Cheshire NHS Trust is proud to provide safe, effective and personal care to their patients. They are a community and acute trust serving a large population and their vision is to deliver the best care in the right place. They have over 2,500 staff who work across their community settings and their three hospital sites. You have the opportunity to become part of the Board that sets the Trust’s culture and future vision for an exciting period of new and transformational change. 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.
We are seeking two new Non-executive Director appointments to the Board. There are three key aspects to the role:
- setting direction and sharing the vision
- ensuring the appropriate governance is in place to safeguard patients, staff and standards
- holding ourselves and executives to account for delivery
As a Board member the role will require you to:
- challenge the Board collaboratively to find different ways of thinking and doing
- assimilate board information, analyse it and use to shape services
- solve problems in unconventional ways
- demonstrate how you have had a wider sphere of influence and impact
- demonstrate citizenship values and behaviours and your belief in public service and services
- have the courage and confidence to speak out against the status quo
Person Specification
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. We are particularly keen to meet you if you can:
- Demonstrate an entrepreneurial approach, having worked in a transformed or transforming market
- Bring insight and experience to digital change and/or bring a clinical background
- Add to the existing board members’ life experience through one or more of the following; if you can bring personal insights into:
– The experience of women – Younger People – Digital Literacy – Those who are open about their faith – The lives of people from socially deprived backgrounds – Those who live with a disability or are openly LGBorT
You will also be required to:
- Inspire confidence of the public, patients and our staff through compliance with the ‘fit and proper persons’ checklist
- Demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving services for our patients
- Proactively contribute to the values based culture of our organisation
- Able to commit on average two to four days per month in support of trust business
You will need to be able to demonstrate you can use your experience to:
- work alongside other non-executives and executive colleagues as an equal member of the board
- bring independence, external perspectives, skills and challenge to strategy development
- hold the executive to account by providing purposeful, constructive scrutiny, support and challenge
- shape and actively support a healthy culture for the trust
All non-executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.
As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the range of behaviours required to contribute effectively in this board level role. These are outlined in the NHS Leadership Academy’s Healthcare Leadership Model.
We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments made on merit. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve.
We particularly welcome applications from women, people from the local black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people who we know are under-represented in chair and non-executive roles.
Our recruitment processes are conducted in accordance with the Code of Governance to ensure that they are made on merit after a fair and open process so that the best people, from the widest possible pool of candidates, are appointed.
Additional Information
We strongly recommend an informal and confidential discussion about the roles with the Chair of the Trust, Lynn McGill. Please contact her PA Fiona Baker on 01625 661501 prior to the closing date to make arrangements for this.
