Vacancy Description

We have vacancies for three NEDs and two Associate NEDs at Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT). 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.

The Associate NED role is used successfully in the NHS to support Board succession strategy and achieving a balance of Board level skills. Associate NEDs cannot participate in any formal vote at Board.

The successful candidates for the Associate roles will be appointed by the Trust but may also be considered for appointment as NEDs of the Board in future, should vacancies arise and they have the appropriate skills.
