The opportunity

There are vacancies for three Associate Non-executive Directors (NED’s) at East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST). This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Trust.

Essential criteria

You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. You will have senior level experience in one or more of the following areas:

Post 1

  • Experience of strategic finance management, estates and fleet oversight and IT change programmes, with the ability to Chair the Performance and Finance Committee

Posts 2 & 3

  • Experience in corporate governance, freedom to speak up, organisational diversity and inclusion or emergency services experience would all be of interest to the trust

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.

Applicants should live in or have strong connections with Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex.
