We are delighted to be seeking two person-centred Non-Executive Directors to join our dynamic and nurturing board. For one role we are seeking an individual with a clinical leadership background in any discipline; for this role, experience and insight into some of the services provided by our Trust will be advantageous. For the second role we are interested in hearing from individuals with established board level experience ideally with experience as a Non-Executive Director; an individual who can offer their fresh strategic perspective to our board whilst appreciating the governance and assurance demands of a board position. For this role we are open to leaders from either public, third or private sector backgrounds with experience that complements our strategy and values.

For both roles a commitment to inclusion and shared values will be essential.
