Description
Would you like the opportunity to play a key role in establishing and shaping the effective governance and risk management across our Trust?


Working as part of our Chief Executive's Office, these new appointments represent a significant investment in our approach to achieving excellence as the guardians of good governance as an NHS Foundation Trust which delivers the very best in healthcare for our patients and families across the region.

Please contact Caroline Thomas, Trust Secretary, if you'd like to have a conversation about the opportunity.


Closing date:
Monday 5 February at 9am.


Interview date: 22nd February 2024 at Dukesway Education Centre - Team Valley.


The Head of Governance Services will be the Deputy Trust Secretary and play a key role in ensuring that the Trust's corporate governance operates to the highest standards of probity and in accordance with all constitutional, procedural, and regulatory requirements.


As an experienced operational manager, you will lead the Corporate Governance team to develop and review key related service or policy areas, ranging from the evaluation of Board and committee effectiveness, compliance with the relevant codes of practice, and helping to drive effective risk management and assurance processes across the Trust.


This is an exciting opportunity for you to help drive change, use your expertise and leadership skills, and make a real difference across our organisation.


We employ 3,500 staff in 63 locations and serve a population of 2,600,000 in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, and Tees over 3230 square miles.

Many people think the job of the ambulance service is to collect patients and take them to hospital, but we do much more


Paramedic skills have developed hugely in recent years, meaning we carry out more treatment at the scene and en-route to hospital.


We have a dedicated clinical assessment service that allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate care from the beginning of the patient journey.

We have a specialised branch of the Trust called HART which deal with explosions or terrorist attacks.


Ultimately patients are the heart of everything that we do to support our mission of "safe, effective and responsive care for all".

Please see the attached job Description for the full details of the duties and responsibilities for this role.
