These roles are crucial in contributing to the board’s discussions, bringing independence, external perspectives, skill and challenge to the organisation’s strategic development.
Professor Sir Keith Willett, chair at SCAS, said: “We are looking to appoint two NEDs who will bring significant board level leadership experience from similar complex, highly regulated public facing organisations.
“We would like to hear from individuals with board level skills in organisational development, transformation and culture change, communications and engagement, as well as those with strategic clinical experience particularly around primary care, community services or the emergency care pathway.”
