Non-executive directors play a crucial role in bringing an independent perspective to the boardroom, in addition to any specific knowledge and skills they may have.
The vacancy is for someone with a clinical background, who has up-to-date clinical knowledge and experience of delivering healthcare, either within the NHS or the private sector, and has led or managed significant cultural change in the working environment.
The role has a key focus on patient safety and care and the postholder will need to use their professional skills and perspective to monitor operational performance, ensure the fulfilment of statutory and legislative responsibilities, and support the governance and strategic development of the RUH Trust.
Candidates should bring experience of operating at Board level and should be able to offer collaborative challenge and strategic advice to provide support, oversight, governance, and leadership.
Alison Ryan, Trust Chair, said: “We’re seeking a new Non-Executive Director to join the Trust board and are keen to hear from applicants with a clinical background.
“The position requires a dynamic individual who is progressive, ambitious, and driven, with a proven track record of delivery and who is comfortable establishing relationships across the Trust and its complex stakeholder landscapes.
“So if you feel you can play a vital role at the centre of the Trust and help to set the direction of the RUH, please do get in touch.”
