Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Non-Executive Directors (two posts)

Derbyshire

Remuneration  £12,638 per annum for minimum 4-5 days a month

Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust specialises in the provision of Mental Health, Substance Misuse, wider specialist services such as eating disorders, as well as Children’s Universal and Learning Disability services across the county. Rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, ‘People First’ is central to delivering our vision to make a positive difference in people’s lives through improving their health and well-being.  Nationally recognised for our innovative inclusion initiatives, we are committed to ensuring equality, diversity, inclusion, and human rights are central to the way we deliver outstanding healthcare services to our service users and how we support and empower our staff.

We are now seeking new values-led Non-Executive Directors to add to the skills and experiences of our diverse Board and our dedicated Council of Governors, at a critical time for our population’s health and well-being.  We have a ‘people first’ culture at Derbyshire Healthcare, and our Non-Executives need to be comfortable engaging with staff and service users and supporting our role as a shaper of successful integrated care - working with partners across Derbyshire to improve the lives of our population. We are a central partner in Derbyshire’s Integrated Care System ‘Joined up Care Derbyshire’, working to provide the best care and services as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

We are keen to appoint two Non-Executive Directors: one will Chair our Finance and Performance Committee and bring significant financial and commercial acumen.  A financial qualification is not essential for this role; you will be an experienced Non-Executive Director with broad experience of leadership and transformation from dynamic, person-centred organisations.  For the second position we are seeking a clinical leader who has operated at Board level or equivalent and who brings a strong focus on quality and a passion for the services that we provide.  They will Chair our Quality and Safeguarding Committee.  For experienced candidates applying for these roles there is the potential for one of the positions to additionally take on Deputy Chair responsibility.  For both positions we are keen to hear from candidates from all sectors and welcome candidates with protected characteristics and/or lived experience of our services.   

For both positions we will be seeking authentic communicators who will quickly build credibility and create high aspiration in our dedicated staff, Governors, partners, service users, carers, and the diverse populations we serve. Promoting the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance you will offer informed and independent challenge as well as a high degree of support to our Board.  Your proactive and progressive approach will enable us to work across organisational boundaries and continue to raise the profile of our services, services users and carers on a local, regional and national platform. 

These are unique opportunities to directly impact on reducing health inequalities and to work with an inclusive Board who value diversity and difference.
