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 jadrian@hunter-healthcare.com.

The closing date for applications is 14th March 2021.

All applications should be sent to: applications@hunter-healthcare.com. All applications will be acknowledged.

Non-Executive Director - Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust

We are seeking to recruit a Non-executive Director with senior level commercial expertise for Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust

The opportunity

There is a vacancy for a Non-executive Director at Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT). This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of the one million people served by the Trust.

There is emphatic evidence that diverse boards make the best decisions. LPT want to take positive action to increase the diversity of their board team. In non-executive roles nationally, it is known that people from the local Black Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, LGBT communities, younger people and those with lived experience of disability are all under-represented. They want a change.

We are really interested in receiving applications from people with different backgrounds and experience, particularly from local BAME communities with senior level experience.

The NHS is founded on principles and values that bind together the diverse communities and people it serves – patients and public – and the staff who work for it.

Required values, competencies, skills and experience

We are looking for candidates who want to use their energy, skills and experience to help drive the delivery of sustainable healthcare services for the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Values

You must demonstrate a clear commitment to the trust’s values and the NHS values and principles outlined in the NHS Constitution and the standards of public life by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.

Core competencies

You will work alongside other non-executives and executive colleagues as an equal member of the board. The Trust need diverse, inclusive and compassionate leaders who not only reflect the community they serve and the staff employed but have the leadership style and breadth of perspective to make good collective decisions.

Lived experience

Personally, you will bring a range of professional expertise as well as community understanding and experience to the work of the board. We are interested in your life experience and personal motivation that will add valuable personal insights such as: a patient or carer of a service user; experience of gender and women’s issues; engaging with diverse social, economic and cultural groups and communities; experiences and challenges of younger people; and those with lived experience of mental health issues and/or living with physical disability.

Additional criteria

You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. You will have recent, relevant commercial expertise gained at a strategic level in a large, complex organisation with the ability to Chair the Finance and Performance Committee.

You will need to be able to demonstrate you can use your experience to:

• work alongside other non-executives and executive colleagues as an equal member of the board
• bring independence, external perspectives, skills and challenge to strategy development
• hold the executive to account by providing purposeful, constructive scrutiny and challenge
• shape and actively support a healthy culture for the trust

All non-executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.

As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the range of behaviours required to contribute effectively in this board level role. These are outlined in the NHS Leadership Academy’s Healthcare Leadership Model.

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments made on merit. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve.

We particularly welcome applications from women, people from the local black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people who we know are under-represented in chair and non-executive roles.

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 james.mcleod@badenochandclark.com) or David Hunter (07889 202229 david.hunter@badenochandclark.com).

Closing date is Sunday 28th February 2021
