The content, course leader and fellow attendees were a breath of fresh air. I went with an open mind, unsure whether my skill set and experiences were suitable and allow me to offer any value to a board. I left with no doubt that they were.

The course content was really informative and very pragmatic. At end of the day, not only did I understand the role and liabilities of a NED but also the legal framework within which they operate, the more technical areas that you need to be familiar with, where to find out more information specific to the company you are working with and how to find a NED position in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Above all though, I left with the confidence that I really did have something to offer.

2 Independent Non-Executive Directors - Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System (ICS)

Birmingham and Solihull ICS are seeking two independent System Non-executive Directors – one to lead on finances and one on inequalities

Birmingham and Solihull ICS is a partnership between the NHS, local councils and others, which takes collective responsibility for managing resources, delivering NHS care, and improving the health of our local population. As ICS partners, we serve a large, diverse and vibrant region with incredible examples of innovative health and social care and many world-class services. However, there remain deep pockets of inequality and variation. As we emerge from the pandemic, focussing on integration has never been more important. We have an opportunity to close the gaps and create effective, holistic, person- centred pathways which support the citizens of Birmingham and Solihull to live healthier and happier lives. To help us achieve this we are looking to appoint two independent System Non Executive Directors – one to lead on finances and one on inequalities.

Whilst there is more work to do to create the ICS, it will bring about improvements in health outcomes for local people, reducing health inequalities, promoting continuity of care, and making practical improvements to people’s lives, as well as creating more support, time and space for staff to collaborate and deliver their roles more effectively, in a safe and compassionate way. The ICS will be able to do this by looking at the wider determinants of health and wellbeing, in a much more joined-up and unified way.

We are passionate about the difference that we can make by working together, to tackle the unacceptable health inequalities we have across the area. By working together, we can take big decisions around how and where care is delivered, ensuring we make the most impact. By integrating how we make decisions together and holding ourselves to account about how we offer and deliver care, we believe we are more likely to close the health and wellbeing, care, quality and financial gaps across our area. Ultimately, we want Birmingham and Solihull to be the best place to live and work.

To learn more please contact our recruitment partners Rhiannon Smith and Jenny Adrian on 07939 250362 or by email at [email protected].

The closing date for applications is 14th March 2021.

All applications should be sent to: [email protected]. All applications will be acknowledged.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - 2 Non-Executive Directors

 NED Vacancies, Paid Role, Public Sector  No Responses »

2 Non-Executive Directors - Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are seeking two Non-executive Directors – one to undertake the role of Audit Committee Chair and a further with a clinical background to join the Quality & Governance Committee.

Our vision at Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is to be a leading provider of outstanding compassionate care. Working with a system-wide view across the integrated healthcare landscape is a cornerstone of our approach. We are highly rated by NHS regulators, both in terms of quality and financial performance. Financial pressures and ever-increasing demand for NHS services do present an ongoing challenge to the delivery of our strategies and plans but our priority continues to be maintaining quality and safety at the foundation of all we do.

Both roles require you to understand the complexities of working in a multi-site operation, think beyond organisational boundaries, bring high levels of personal and business integrity and be able to ensure exemplary standards of quality, probity and governance. With experience of challenging and debating constructively in a Board environment, the sector that you have worked in is less important than your commitment and engagement with patients, carers, partners and the community.

The Audit Committee Chair must have a prior understanding of finance and internal control at a senior level in a complex environment and perhaps other relevant expertise such as risk management.

The clinical Non-Executive Director must have current or recent clinical experience and a demonstrable track record of working in a health environment.

We are positively encouraging applications from people with diverse backgrounds and in particular applicants from BAME communities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people.

If you are interested in a real opportunity to help shape the future direction and provision of health and wellbeing services in Northamptonshire and beyond, please apply and find out more by visiting www.opportunitiesatnorthants.com.

If you have any questions or would like a confidential discussion with our recruitment partners at Badenoch + Clark, please contact: James McLeod (07523 044455 [email protected]) or David Hunter (07889 202229 [email protected]).

Closing date is Sunday 28th February 2021
