Non-Executive Director (Chair of Finance & Performance Committee)

Following the appointment of Jackie Smith as our outstanding new Chair earlier this year, we are now seeking an exceptional Non-Executive Director to join our highly committed Board and provide leadership across finance and performance. This is an exciting and pivotal time to join #TeamCRH and to provide scrutiny as we focus on delivering the ambitions of our new strategy. You will bring your experience to support our Board in ensuring long-term financial sustainability, overseeing major transformation, and meeting the challenges and opportunities presented by a rapidly evolving health and care landscape.

We are seeking an individual with recent and relevant financial leadership experience and significant non-executive experience to chair our Finance and Performance Committee. You will bring board-level credibility, financial insight and the confidence to provide constructive challenge, and support financial sustainability. Strong governance, strategic and partnership skills are essential, alongside a clear commitment to our values, high-quality care, colleague experience and an understanding of our diverse communities.

With over 5,000 dedicated colleagues, Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides a range of acute and community healthcare services to 400,000 people living across Derbyshire. Rated as Good by the CQC, we are a values-led organisation committed to providing exceptional care for the communities we proudly serve. Our new Improving Care Together strategy sets out our shared commitment to building a healthier future for our communities, strengthening our partnerships to deliver care closer to home, tackling health inequalities, and creating the conditions which will improve outcomes for the populations we serve.

We are incredibly proud of our diversity as an organisation, and it is important to us that our Board understands a broad spectrum of lived experience. We are keen to attract candidates who can bring diverse perspectives, and particularly welcome expressions of interest from candidates with protected characteristics.
