Non-Executive Director - Finance

As the UK's leading heart and lung hospital, Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust occupies a unique and special place in the NHS with our complexity and impact far exceeding our scale. From our state-of-the-art building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the world's largest centres of healthcare research and delivery, we offer heart and lung services, with an extensive range of specialist services provided nowhere else in the UK. With an international reputation for excellence in research and innovation, we are a member of Cambridge University Health Partners and are building The Heart and Lung Research Institute in partnership with the University of Cambridge. We are also a critical part of the Cambridge and Peterborough Integrated Care System and recognise the important role we can play in tacking health inequalities and maximise the opportunities created by the research and innovation work that takes place in our region.

As a Board member, you will work alongside Executive and Non-executive Director colleagues to constructively challenge and support the development of proposals on strategies, scrutinise the performance of management in meeting agreed goals and satisfy yourself that financial controls and systems for risk management are robust and effective.

You will be expected to be available for around 3 days a month, however during the first few months you may well need to spend more time building up knowledge of our services.
