About Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SaBP) is an ambitious provider of mental health, drug and alcohol and learning disability services for people of all ages in Surrey and North-East Hampshire. We provide a broad range of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency community services, early intervention and detection programmes, as well as highly specialised therapy and inpatient treatment. Our high-quality care focuses on enabling people to live well with their conditions and to work towards recovery.
Associate Non-Executive Director
We are looking to appoint an Associate Non-Executive Director to our Board, with recent (current or within the last 3 years) primary care experience as a G.P. Of equal importance, is your alignment with our values and ability to think strategically: helping us look beyond the boundaries of our organisation and build relationships and partnerships with our community and across a broad range of public, voluntary and social enterprise sector organisations.
Responsibilities
- Shaping the Strategy: NHS boards play a key role in shaping the strategy, vision and purpose of an organisation.
- Accountability: They hold the organisation to account for the delivery of strategy and ensure value for money.
- Risk Management: Assuring that risks to the organisation and the public are managed and mitigated effectively.
- Performance Oversight: Led by an independent Chair and composed of a mixture of both Executive and independent Non-Executive members, the Board has a collective responsibility for the performance of the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
