Non-Executive Director

We are delighted to be seeking two person-centred Non-Executive Directors to join our dynamic and nurturing board. For one role, we are seeking an individual with a clinical leadership background in any discipline; for this role, experience and insight into some of the services provided by our Trust will be advantageous. For the second role, we are interested in hearing from individuals with established board level experience, ideally with experience as a Non-Executive Director; an individual who can offer their fresh strategic perspective to our board whilst appreciating the governance and assurance demands of a board position. For this role, we are open to leaders from either public, third, or private sector backgrounds with experience that complements our strategy and values. In particular, we welcome expertise in areas including strategic partnerships, service innovation, corporate governance, or digital leadership. For both roles, a commitment to inclusion and shared values will be essential.

Our Non-Executive Directors bring independence of thought, curiosity, and compassion to their roles; offering constructive challenge as well as support to our talented executive team. Comfortable in challenging at board level in complex organisations, you will be politically astute, creative, and focused on quality. You will bring a genuine commitment to patients and to reducing health and workforce inequalities. We always welcome diverse and fresh insights; innovative and inclusive leaders who thrive in environments of high accountability and ambiguity. We warmly encourage applications from people with all protected characteristics to further improve the diversity of thinking and the different lived experiences of our board. These are exceptional opportunities to make a difference to the lives and futures of our populations and those who serve them.

At Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, we provide a range of vital health and care services, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health, and all-age disability care, alongside operating three GP surgeries. We have services across Wirral and Cheshire, as well as Trafford, Warrington, Bolton, Halton, and Liverpool, and provide specialist services across the North West. We are a complex organisation with over 14,700 members, employing more than 4,500 staff across 73 sites, serving a population of over one million people, with our highly specialist services serving a population of two million.
