There are vacancies for a Non-executive Director (NED) and an Associate NED at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP). This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Trust and its workforce at a time of significant positive change.

The Non-executive Director’s role will include chairing the Trust’s Audit and Risk Assurance Committee.

The Associate NED role is used successfully in the NHS to support Board succession strategy and achieve a balance of Board level skills. Associate NEDs cannot participate in any formal vote at Board. The successful candidate for the Associate role will be appointed by the Trust but may also be considered for appointment as a NED of the Board in future, should a vacancy arise and they have the appropriate skills.

The Trust is keen to attract applicants who have a personal interest in equity/fairness, diversity and inclusion, and can demonstrate a track record at a senior level on this important issue. The Trust serves a very diverse population and seeks applications from all parts of its community. The Trust is working hard on a range of diversity issues and is making great progress. However, it acknowledges that there is still much to do and the successful applicants together with the Board will contribute to providing leadership and support to the Trust to address these challenges.

All non-executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.
