We are recruiting a Non-executive Director for Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUH). This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people in your community.

Experience of operating at Board level, managing complex change and transformation is required and it would be helpful if you already have been a NED, Trustee or Governor.
