Vacancy Description
M1886
Please note this vacancy and the information pack have been updated to include the interview date.
There is a vacancy for a Non-executive Director and an Associate Non-executive Director at The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people in your community.
The Trust is planning ahead for two natural rotations within its Board, and they seek to appoint two strong team players with excellent interpersonal skills, along with the ability to bring challenge and support to the board and its committees.
One of the successful candidates will chair the Trust’s Audit Committee and the second post (an Associate Non-executive Director post) will be a member of the Trust’s Performance and Finance Committee and Strategy Committee.
The Associate Non-executive director role is used successfully in the NHS to support Board succession strategy and achieving a balance of Board level skills. Associate Non-executive directors cannot participate in any formal vote at Board.
The successful candidate for the Associate role will be appointed by the Trust but may also be considered for appointment as a Non-executive director of the Board in future, should a vacancy arise and they have the appropriate skills.
Person Specification
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. You will have recent, relevant senior or board level experience gained in a complex organisation in one or more of the following:
Post one – Non-executive Director
You will have recent and relevant financial experience gained in a complex organisation, ideally with a recognised financial qualification, and experience of audit or risk gained in a governance setting.
Post two – Associate Non-executive Director

For both posts
We welcome applications from candidates outside the NHS and the Public Sector.
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.
