Devon Partnership NHS Trust (DPT) is passionate about promoting good mental health and wellbeing and we are looking for two new non-executive directors (NEDs) and one Associate non-executive director to support our work. These are exceptional opportunities to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people served by the Trust.

Currently rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, we aspire to be an ‘Outstanding’ organisation, providing the very best care to our communities and the very best working environment for our staff. Our recent re-positioning as the lead provider in the strategic commissioning arrangements for specialist services across the South West will require us to build even closer and more collaborative relationships across the region to ensure success.

Our growth trajectory has been significant, in recent years our income for delivering services has increased by about 50%, so we need to look at how we deliver this expansion of services in different ways, working within the envelope of our workforce and focusing on how we up-skill and re-skill our workforce to deal with that expansion.

To ensure that the Board can support the organisation in delivering outstanding care for the people that use our services, we need to have the strongest skills around the Board table and the most effective Board governance – so there has never been a more meaningful time to join us as a Non-Executive Director and bring your support, challenge and insight. We are open to new colleagues from a broad range of professional backgrounds including, but not limited to, finance, commissioning, public health and digitalisation.

While it would be helpful to bring in new team members who already have some familiarity with the roles and responsibilities of Non-Executive Directors, more important to us is our commitment to increasing the diversity of our Board and wider organisation and so we would particularly welcome applications from people from under-represented groups.
