Role Overview
As a Non-Executive Director and Board member, you will bring independent clinical challenge, strategic insight, and governance expertise to support CSH Surrey in delivering outstanding, safe and compassionate care. You will play a pivotal role in assuring the effectiveness of our clinical governance framework, providing constructive challenge and assurance on patient safety, patient experience, clinical quality standards, IPC, safeguarding, and the professional leadership of nursing and allied health professionals. You will also contribute to the wider strategic direction, culture of innovation, and continuous improvement of our organisation. The Board of Directors is legally responsible for the activities of CSH Surrey.
Key Responsibilities
Non-executive directors play a crucial role in bringing an independent perspective to the Board room in addition to any specific knowledge and skills they may have. Non‑executive directors have a duty to uphold the highest standards of integrity and probity and to foster good relations in the board room. They should apply similar standards of care and skill in their role as a non‑executive director as they would in similar roles elsewhere. Non‑executive directors are expected to participate fully as members of committees of the Board of Directors to which they are appointed and to take the role of Committee Chair when so appointed. There are currently six board committees that hold meetings throughout the year at varying frequencies. The Board also holds away days for strategy and other discussions, and non‑executive directors may be asked to attend other meetings internal and external to CSH Surrey.
Non‑executive directors will also be expected to visit CSH teams and speak to colleagues, patients and their families: a DBS check will be required.
Qualifications & Eligibility
Are you an NMC‑registered nurse with substantial senior clinical leadership experience, gained at Board, Executive Director or equivalent level? Do you have a proven track record in clinical governance, patient safety, quality improvement, within an NHS, community, or other regulated healthcare environment? If so, we would like to speak to you.
