Our Health Boards Practice specialises in sourcing diverse, capable and skilled non-executive leaders to join NHS Boards. We use tried and tested search and selection methods to fill single and multiple vacancies, and are available to complete ‘Whole Board’ recruitment and Board Effectiveness Reviews. Populating today’s NHS Boards for the range and durability required for strong governance and high performing services comes down to balancing experience with lived and community perspectives. At a time of increased complexity and pressure across the health system, there is still no shortage of qualified and available candidates ready to contribute as non-executives or chairs. Yet too many established recruitment practices are limiting when it comes to progressing non-traditional talent. At Starfish, we support a safe, modern and genuinely diverse NHS by looking carefully at overall board composition, challenging prevailing thinking and installing the capability Boards need now and in the future.
