Welcome from Steve Erskine, Chair
As Chair of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you as a prospective candidate for the position of Non-Executive Director. We are seeking two Non-Executive Directors with clinical backgrounds to join our team and complement the existing skill mix of our Board of Directors.
At Hampshire Hospitals, our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Through our three hospital sites and our community services, we provide healthcare to people living in Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover, Eastleigh, Alton and beyond. Driven by our iCARE values, the people who work at the heart of Hampshire Hospitals look after people throughout the life course. From delivering thousands of local babies each year to offering world renowned liver surgery and cancer treatments, we are committed to delivering the best possible care, close to home. Patient voices, and understanding what matters most to the people we serve, is what helps shape the future of our services.
As a Non-Executive Director, working with our Board of Directors, you will play a crucial role in bringing an independent perspective to the Board. Proving appropriate oversight, governance and leadership to the Trust in the pursuit of its strategies to provide effective and high-quality healthcare services.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about shaping high-quality care services as well as making a meaningful impact on the communities we serve. The ideal candidate will act with the highest standards of integrity and will uphold our iCARE values: inclusive, compassionate, accountable, respectful and encouraging.
We want to secure a diverse mix of highly capable and credible Board level or equivalent leaders who bring a sustained track record of success in a relevant setting. As a Non-Executive Director you will have clinical knowledge and experience of delivering healthcare, either within the NHS or the private sector.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our Trust at a time when we are looking to the future, working with partners, to modernise healthcare for the benefit of the communities we serve.
We hope this will give an initial introduction to Hampshire Hospitals, our work and the difference we make. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we look forward to hearing from you.
