We particularly welcome applications from women, people from Black, Asian and other Global Majority backgrounds, disabled people and people with lived experience of health inequalities, as these groups are currently under-represented in senior NHS leadership and our Board. We are committed to an inclusive recruitment process and will make reasonable adjustments for candidates who need them.

• Clinical Workforce Transformation with a clinical background gained through working in nursing, midwifery, allied health, pharmacy, biomedical sciences, primary care or community services.

What matters most is your ability to contribute strategically, work collaboratively and bring independent judgement to complex issues affecting patients, staff and communities.

We know that talented people sometimes rule themselves out if they do not meet every aspect of a role description. If you share our values, bring relevant senior experience and can offer a perspective that will strengthen our Board, we encourage you to apply.
