Non-executive directors and Associate Non-Executive Directors play a crucial role in bringing independent perspectives to the boardroom, in addition to any specific knowledge and skills they may have. Non-executive directors and Associate Non-Executive Directors have a duty to uphold the highest standards of integrity and probity and to foster good relations in the boardroom. They will be required to contribute to setting the strategic direction, effectively participate in the Board, ensuring effective governance and compliance and the meeting of performance targets required by the Trust and other external partners such as commissioners of services, NHS Improvement, the Care Quality Commission and other statutory bodies. Non-executive directors are expected to participate fully as members of sub committees of the Board of Directors to which they are appointed and to take the role of committee chair if appointed.
Associate Non-Executive Directors will work with the Non-Executive Directors to ensure that the Board acts in the best interests of service users, patients, the community and wider public. You will be a member of a unitary board.
