About The Role
£25,000 per annum for a 2 to 4 day per month time commitment
Location: National Role
NHS Professionals (NHSP) run the largest NHS flexible staff bank, placing highly skilled temporary workers in NHS trusts and healthcare organisations to meet short, medium and long-term staffing needs.
Uniquely, they are owned by the Department of Health and Social Care and therefore reinvest any surplus they make directly back into the wider healthcare economy. In 2022/23 this return totalled £10 million and our services also helped our clients avoid an estimated agency equivalent spend of £832 million for the NHS.
Originally formed in 2001, this multi-award-winning business now works with more than 100 NHS trusts and healthcare organisations and have over 190,000 healthcare professionals (Bank Members) registered with them.
NHSP work flexibly to NHS-assured standards in a wide range of roles including nurses and midwives, doctors, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, personal social services and non-clinical. The organisation aligns their vision and objectives with those of the NHS and their teams use their specialist healthcare knowledge to deliver bespoke recruitment solutions to Bank Members and client trusts/organisations.
The Opportunities
Working in partnership with NHS trust clients, NHSP provides a service that combines deep understanding of the client trust’s temporary and flexible workforce requirements with the reliability, quality and value for money that a fully managed service can offer. We have a proven track record in doing this, but the surrounding marketplace is changing – whether that is being driven or ‘disrupted’ by technology, the challenge of change for NHS trusts (whether current clients or not) or the competition created by enduring workforce shortages.
Set in this exciting context, NHSP is transforming as an organisation, ensuring we are set up to thrive in the current market; this means diversifying our core offer to the NHS, as well as developing new workforce solutions. It also means completing a major technology transformation programme that will underpin our ability to drive innovation and excellence in customer service.
Our Non-Executive Directors will play key roles within this transformation, and due to the tenure of our current colleagues coming to an end, we are seeking two Non-Executive Directors with broad experience and expertise in the following areas:
People and Workforce:
* Experienced board member, likely in, or seeking to develop, a portfolio career and with experience as a Director of Resources/ Chief People Officer. Strong leadership experience gained within large, complex organisations, ideally with direct experience of the workforce challenges facing the NHS or a comparably complex front line service operation.
* Clear focus on equality, diversity and inclusion, total reward and culture.
OR
Digital, Data and Analytics and Business Transformation:
Ability to bring insight to the power of digital, data and analytics to transform an organisation’s approach to customer service and operational service delivery. Strategic vision to see how these skills can relate to workforce, talent and capacity management challenges facing industries (such as the NHS) with large front line service operations.
The successful candidates will be strong ambassadors for NHSP both internally and externally. This is a crucial time to be joining this progressive, national organisation.
We particularly welcome applications from people from minority groups and will provide support to ensure an equitable process.
