Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust
Remuneration of £14,770 per annum.
Hackney

Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust provides community and inpatient physical health, mental health and learning disability services for the people of Gloucestershire of all ages. It was created in 2019 as the result of two good trusts coming together as equal partners.

We have recently reviewed and refreshed our Trust strategy to ensure it reflects the current local and national landscape. We engaged with our communities, our partners, our colleagues and the people we serve to devise a new Purpose – Helping you live your best life by delivering great healthcare. We have also reaffirmed our four overarching goals – Better Health, High Quality Care, Great Place to Work and Sustainable Services and introduced five new ‘focus areas’ and new ‘ways of working’ to guide us over the coming years.

We’re transforming our services by co-producing what we do with the people and communities we serve, building on their strengths and using their insights to drive change. Forward thinking and ambitious, we are using quality improvement methodology and the best available technology to provide excellent quality services that enhance access and choice. We have a clear focus on tackling inequalities and promoting inclusion.

THE ROLE

As the Trust enters the next crucial phase of development, we’re looking for an experienced Non-Executive Director to join the Board.

You will share our passion for community health services, and our vision and values, and bring the specific skills and perspectives we need to keep moving forward.

You’ll be joining a strong and diverse team of people who will welcome your perspective and insight. Who you are and how you think will matter most of all.
