Non-Executive Director (Chair of Quality and Safety)
Northamptonshire
£13,000 / 3 days per month minimum
At Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT), we strive to continually innovate and make a positive difference to our community and those working for and with our Trust, with a collective vision to provide outstanding, compassionate care to the people of Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. Rated as Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, NHFT is one of the few Foundation Trusts in the country which offers an integrated provision across all ages including mental health, learning disability, community health and prison health services.
We now seek a Non-Executive Director, who will also act as Chair of our Quality and Safety Committee. Appreciative of the complexities of working in a multi-site operation, we want an individual who can think beyond organisational boundaries and bring high levels of personal integrity to ensure exemplary standards of quality, probity, and governance.
A clinically qualified individual, you will have board experience, either from your time as an Executive or Non-Executive Director. Whilst able to navigate our Quality and Safety Committee and bring your clinical expertise to bear, your contribution to the broader strategic agenda will be essential. Ideally, you will have experience of managing a broad portfolio and will understand what it means to operate within a complex environment as well as a track record of experience working in close partnership with internal and external stakeholders. You must evidence your ability to influence and persuade others, be committed to working as a team member and possess the motivation to improve NHS performance.
