Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust
Time commitment: 2-3 days a week
Remuneration: £47,100
This is an exciting time to join our Trust and a fantastic opportunity for an outstanding leader to guide us – not only in delivering our new 5-year strategy but achieving the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Plan.
We are a complex trust delivering a diverse range of services from over 100 locations across our two counties. We provide mental health and learning disability services across Herefordshire and Worcestershire and a wide range of community services, including seven community hospitals across Worcestershire.
We are a well-established local provider that engages widely with our colleagues, patients, carers and local partners to deliver our system strategy. We listen to patient feedback and experiences to ensure that we develop innovative and sustainable services that provide excellent care to meet their needs and we constantly strive to improve.
THE ROLE
In our Chair we are seeking an exceptional, strategic and values-based leader, who can provide leadership and guidance to our Chief Executive and Board and play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our newly formed strategic objectives. You will have significant Board level experience gained within a comparably large and complex organisation, combined with a deep understanding of strategic management and organisational governance.
Most importantly, you will be an authentic and inspirational leader, who puts our patients and colleagues at the heart of decision making. You should also live in or have strong connections with area we serve.
If your values match our values, if you feel passionate about the services we deliver, and if you have a strong and unwavering belief in improvement, then we would warmly welcome your application and look forward to speaking and meeting with you.
