Non-Executive Director

Non-Executive Director

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is a leading provider of community and mental health services, delivering care across six boroughs of Greater Manchester. Our vision is to deliver the best care to patients, people and families in our local communities by working effectively with partners.

With a key role in the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care partnership, we are moving at pace to develop integrated health and social care services for our population. We have a workforce of 5,500 dedicated staff and an annual income of £274m.

At this exciting time in our development we have a vacancy to appoint a Non-Executive Director (NED) for our Board.

The role requires experience at Board-level (or similar) gained within a complex, service-driven environment. You will promote the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance, ensuring that quality, finance and operational demands are held in balance.

To ensure the patient voice is appropriately represented, we are seeking a candidate who can demonstrate senior level clinical experience and direct involvement with a wide range of diverse communities. Empathy for the experience of our service users and carers will be crucial, along with an ability to engage with our dedicated staff, Governors and members; keeping the patient perspective at the forefront of our decision-making.

Accustomed to high levels of accountability, you will demonstrate the credibility and political awareness to collaborate with our wide range of external stakeholders. While NHS experience would be an advantage, the Trust welcomes fresh perspectives.

We are an equal opportunity employer and ensure we meet our legal duties covered by the Equality Act. As such within our recruitment processes we will ensure there is no discrimination on the basis of race, religion, colour, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, any physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment will be decided on the basis of qualifications and merit. We have also signed up to being a disability confident employer. Currently our Board is under-represented by members from diverse backgrounds therefore we would welcome applications from BME communities.

There will also be an opportunity to meet representatives of the Trust and get valuable information to support your application, details of which can be found in the candidate pack at the above link.

Closing date: Wednesday 18 July 2018

Expected interview date: Thursday 2 August 2018
