A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a new Non-Executive Director to join First Community Health & Care’s Board following the completion of nearly two terms by the existing post holder.

As one of four Non-Executive Directors, you will join the Board of Directors with a specific focus on quality and patient safety. We are seeking a compassionate leader and advocate for first-rate care.

As Chair of the Quality Committee, your role will be to assure the board that First Community is providing high-quality care or that adequate actions are being taken to identify and address issues.

A recognised clinical qualification is essential, as is experience of operating as a NED, independent and proactive leadership skills, the ability to champion open, frank and disciplined discussion, and being prepared to ask difficult questions. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential in this role.

1. Working together for patients.
2. Compassion.
3. Respect and dignity.
4. Improving lives.
5. Commitment to quality of care.
6. Everyone counts.

Do you want to be part of an organisation that is committed to providing first-rate care, services, and value to its local community?

First Community is a CQC rated ‘Good’ staff-owned social enterprise, which delivers NHS community services to residents across east Surrey and in parts of west Sussex. We are proud to be rated the top community provider employer in the country (NHS Staff Survey 2023). Please refer to Appendix 2 in the recruitment pack for fuller details on our status as a community interest company.

First Community is a great place to work; everyone here has a voice and is supported to develop their career to its full potential.

First Community values diversity and inclusion and is committed to the recruitment and retention of under-represented minority groups. We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, and candidates with disabilities.

Sustainability is integral to First Community achieving the NHS Net Zero target. All staff are therefore actively encouraged and supported to implement new ways of working within their field of expertise.

Please submit your CV and Cover Letter by 24th March 2025. Please reflect in your supporting statement how your experience aligns with the person specification and how you can meet the six NHS leadership competency domains. Interviews will be held on the 9th April 2025 in person.
