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. ### Main duties of the job 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. NHFT celebrates multiple points of view, and we believe diversity drives innovation. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a track record in driving Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion related issues, together with the ability to demonstrate how you have challenged discrimination and inequality. We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments are made on merit. We believe the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from people from the local black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people who we know are under-represented in Non-Executive Director roles. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities For further information on the advertised role, please refer to the job description located under the Supporting Documents heading. ## Person Specification ### Behaviours and values **Essential** - Think beyond organisational boundaries and have the ability to help the Trust see opportunities for collaboration for the benefit of our community ### Knowledge and experience **Essential** - Clinically qualified **Desirable** - A track record of driving Equality, Diversity and Inclusion related issues ## Documents - [job description (pdf, 488.3kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10479079) - [your guide to nhft (pdf, 1.3mb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=3047) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
