We are now looking to appoint a Non-Executive Director to join the Board providing leadership to the Trust. You will bring senior management or board-level experience, with an exceptional track record in commercial leadership, business development, and financial management.

Knowledge of the local area and a strong commitment to the local health economy will be important, along with commitment to our values as a Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an impressive, instrumental and high achieving NHS Board. We are particularly keen to attract a diverse range of applicants so we can better reflect the diversity of the communities we serve as a Trust.
