Governor Elections 2020

The Trust is looking to recruit new governors to help influence the future of its health services. 

A great opportunity has arisen to become the ‘voice’ of local people as a governor in the following localities:  Scarborough, Bridlington, Selby and York.

Responsibilities include providing support and advice to ensure that the trust delivers services that best meet the needs of patients and the communities and provides high quality, effective and patient-focussed services.

Governors play a critical role and provide an important link between the trust and the public, helping the trust to gather views from local people and feeding back important issues to help set the direction of future planning of health services.  

All types of people become Governors.  No special qualifications are required, but you must:

• Be over the age of 16.
• Have an interest in the health service.
• Have good interpersonal skills as you will need to talk to others.
