Non Executive Director (Non Executive Director) - 317 Trust Board - The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – Tyne and Wear
Welcome to The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and thank you for your interest in this role.
We have over 2 million patient contacts each year in our main hospitals, making us one of the biggest providers of specialist care in the UK, serving people from across the Northeast, North Cumbria and beyond. We are continuing our journey for our system’s plans for greater collaboration to develop, enhance, and improve clinical pathways resulting in better patient experience and outcomes.
Our Trust has much work to do to improve and respond to the findings of our most recent CQC inspection report, and with our new Chair and Chief Executives in place, we now have an opportunity to refresh our Board and appoint two new Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).
For the two NED roles, we are looking for individuals who will provide constructive challenge, independence of thought, support diverse insight and strategic input, and ensure that we have robust systems of risk management and governance in place.
The role of the NEDs is to support the Board of Directors in providing an independent view on the Trust’s strategy, overseeing implementation of national strategies and regulatory compliance, and working collaboratively with our Council of Governors. In addition, as a NED, you will be involved in the work of the Trust Committees.
We are committed to increasing the diversity of our existing Board and positively improving the balance of people from ethnic minority groups. To support this, we encourage applications from people in minoritised communities whose background, experience, and identity will broaden and enhance perspectives in navigating the challenges we face going forward.
As a NED, you are required to provide independence of thought and constructive challenge as well as support executives and demonstrate commitment to the enduring values of NHS.
We are interested in the difference and insights your knowledge, expertise from your background, experience, training, or career progression will bring to Board discussions and how they will contribute to the effective governance and diversity of the Trust Board.
The remuneration for the NEDs is £15,000 per annum with a time commitment of around 4-5 days per month.
This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions Order) 1975, and it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Services to check for any previous criminal convictions. Due to the seniority of the post, appropriate checks relevant to the Fit and Proper Persons Requirement will also be undertaken.
Closing Date for applications: Sunday 17 November 2024
Interview Date: Wednesday 4 and Friday 6 December 2024
