Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a Non-Executive Director to join its Board. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the leadership of the Trust during a period of transformation in the NHS and social care landscape.

As we focus on improving our patient and staff experience, we are committed to making our organisation an exceptional place to work and the preferred choice for patient care. As a Non-Executive Director, you will play a vital role in shaping our vision ‘Deliver the best care every day for everyone’ and ensuring we deliver on these ambitions.

We warmly encourage applications from individuals living in or with experience of care in the Gloucestershire area. We are particularly interested in candidates with diverse professional backgrounds, bringing expertise in one or more of the following areas:

You will need to quickly understand the health and social care policy, navigate relationships with key stakeholders, and appreciate governance requirements, including the risks inherent in the delivery of our services. Your sound judgment, political acumen, and ability to provide a fresh perspective will be highly valued.
