At Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) we provide a range of inpatient and community mental health and learning disability services.

We serve a population of two million people across County Durham, the Tees Valley, Darlington and North Yorkshire and are geographically one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in England. We also provide mental health care in prisons located in the North East, Cumbria and parts of Lancashire.

We want people to live their best possible lives and are committed to achieving this by:

• Co-creating a great experience for our patients, carers and families
• Co-creating a great experience for our colleagues
• Being a great partner

We are now looking for a Non-Executive Director with experience at a senior level in the private sector and/or a commercial role; knowledge of digital or estates and capital programmes might be beneficial.  To be successful in the role you will need to share our passion for improving mental health, learning disability and autism services and be someone who can enhance our strategic thinking.  Most importantly you will need to demonstrate a values-based leadership style focused on compassion, respect and responsibility. We need somebody comfortable working in a collaborative and supportive way as part of a Unitary Board, whilst at the same time having a curious mindset, seeking assurance and holding the Executive Team to account.

We are an inclusive organisation and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly from those with personal experience as a user of our services or experience of caring for a loved one.
