There is a vacancy for a clinical Non-executive Director (NED) at Royal Cornwall Hospitals 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.
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 clinical and patient safety expertise gained from medical, nursing, allied disciplines or social care experience at a senior level in an academic, research, regulatory or clinically focused role.
The Trust is working hard on a range of diversity issues and is making great progress. However, we acknowledge that there is still much to do and the successful applicants together with the Board will contribute to providing leadership and support to the Trust to address these important challenges.
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.
Applicants should live in Cornwall or have strong connections with the area but live within a reasonable travel distance to be able to attend Trust meetings on site.
