Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, Associate Non-executive Director (Finance and Audit)
A role for an Associate Non-executive Director (ANED) is available at Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust. This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Trust.
The Associate NED role is used successfully in the NHS to support our Board succession strategy and achieving a balance of Board level skills. Associate NEDs cannot participate in any formal vote at Board.
The successful candidate for the Associate role will be appointed by the Trust but may also be considered for appointment as a substantive NED of the Board in the future, should a vacancy arise and they have the appropriate skills, subject to agreement with NHS England.
Essential Criteria
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. You will have senior level experience in one of the following:
- Recent and relevant corporate financial experience in a senior or board level position gained within a large, complex commercial or public sector organisation
- Holding or recently held a professional accountancy, audit or financial qualification
As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate that they meet the NHS leadership competency framework for board members (please see the information pack for the six domains). The competency domains are aligned to Our NHS People Promise, Our Leadership Way and the Seven Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles).
The best boards are those that reflect the workforce and communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from local black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, and people with disabilities, who we know are all under-represented in these important roles.
