At Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) we are looking for two highly influential, enthusiastic, and motivated individuals with great vision, energy, and drive, to join the Trust’s Board of Directors as Non-Executive Directors.
Throughout the past number of years, colleagues within the organisation have consolidated positive progress made within patient care, treatment, and experience, whilst further strengthening links with partners both locally and nationally. The Trust is also emerging from the challenges of COVID-19, a once-in-a-generation event which presents both challenges and opportunities in equal measure as the process of recovery begins in earnest.
It is the vision of all at DBTH to become ‘the safest Trust in England, outstanding in all that we do’. While undoubtedly ambitious, we feel that with the skill, expertise, and dedication we can count on amongst our colleagues, this is an entirely achievable destination for the Trust.
And this is where you come in.
As Non-executive Director you will join a dedicated and skilled Board of Directors and Council of Governors who are committed to ensuring the Trust delivers the best operational performance, ultimately supporting us in achieving our vision, as well as meeting and, in some cases, exceeding the ambitious targets and objectives we have set.
As Non-Executive Director will be required to bring personal commitment to the role, independence, impartiality, a wide range of experience, special knowledge, and personal qualities. You will also be an experienced non-executive director (or of equivalent role) and have senior and/or Board level experience gained in a large/complex organisation – preferably within the public sector, but not exclusively).
In addition to this, you should be able to demonstrate the following key skills:
- A keen sense of strategic direction
- An ability to hold individuals and bodies to account
- Effective influencing and communication skills
- A good sense of team working
- The ability to chair meetings with confidence and candour
- Self-belief and drive
- Intellectual flexibility to meet the myriad challenges and opportunities ahead.
There are two roles available, each with very different candidates, experiences and skillsets in mind, and encourage candidates from all cultures, backgrounds and walks of life to apply:
- For the first, we are looking for a Non-Executive Director with clinical skills and experience, with a history of delivering care within the acute health sector. Whether a former Registered Nurse, a qualified Allied Health Professional, or instead someone with significant medical experience – we want to hear from you.
- For the second vacancy, we are open to candidates who have knowledge of the following: The local health economy, particularly in Nottinghamshire, partnership working between complex organisations, finance and performance, digital media, sales, communications and marketing, transformation, charity and the third sector, people and organisational development, local government and the voluntary sectors. We will also consider candidates with a background in patient experience and engagement or experience with estates management, finance or legal.
The time commitment for this role is between four and five days a month. As a result of COVID-19, much of this will take place virtually such as statutory monthly meetings, however there will be an expectation that some site visits will be required.
