Stockport NHS Foundation Trust is no ordinary Trust. It holds a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare to its population, and it is one of its largest employers.
It is a leading provider of hospital and community health services in Greater Manchester. With a strong focus on clinical excellence, patient safety, and service innovation, we are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve. Our services include acute hospital care, specialist treatments, and extensive community-based health services. With an annual budget of around £400m and 6,500 staff, the Trust supports around half a million patients a year across Stockport, as well as patients from neighbouring Cheshire East and the High Peak area of Derbyshire.
This is an exciting time to join the Board at Stockport NHS FT. We are working closely with Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and have a long history of partnership working as geographical neighbours. We are seeking to strengthen that collaborative approach driven by a shared commitment to enhancing patient care, improving health outcomes, and ensuring the sustainability of healthcare services in our communities. We have a number of shared executive director roles, along with a shared Chief Executive Officer and a newly appointed Joint Chair.
We welcome diverse and fresh perspectives; innovation and inclusive leaders who thrive with accountability and ambiguity. Comfortable in challenging at board level in complex organisations; you will be politically astute, creative and focused on quality. You will bring to life our values as you promote the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance, ensuring that quality, finance and operational demands are held in balance. We are specifically seeking a Non-Executive Director who is or has been a clinician specifically in Nursing/Midwifery/Allied Health Professional or Healthcare Scientist and who has experience of transformation, including bringing organisations and cultures together.
We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve, and we are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our Board to make it truly representative of our workforce and local population. We are keen to receive applications from all protected characteristics and those who either have a strong connection to their local community or those with lived experience, either as carers or service users. We are particularly keen to receive applications from BAME (people who are from black, Asian and minority ethnic) communities or those identifying as having a disability, who we know are under-represented in chair and non-executive roles.
We recognise that flexible working is important. We take requests for flexible working seriously, consider any request we receive and try to work with you, so we can explore if your request may fit with the needs of the service.
The salary for the role is only one part of the excellent package of benefits we offer to you:
* Between 27-33 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
* NHS pension scheme membership
* Salary sacrifice schemes for lease cars, home electronics and more, to make your salary go further
* NHS Staff discounts
* Cycle to work scheme
* Salary finance – for loans, savings, budget planning and tips on managing debt
* Stockport Credit Union– for local financial advice
