Trust seeks new Chair

A new Trust Chair is being sought as the current Chairman, Alan Rose, reaches his allowed terms of office.

The Trust is looking for someone with board level experience gained in a large, complex and changing organisation who has the commitment and personal interest in enhancing health services across the community.

Patrick Crowley, Chief Executive, said: "Our existing Chair, Alan Rose, has successfully led the organisation during a period of substantial progress through the last three years having won the tender for community services and the acquisition of Scarborough Hospital. As he now approaches the end of his allowed terms of office, we are looking to appoint a new Chair to lead the Board of Directors and the Council of Governors through the next exciting phase of our development.

"The Chair will provide leadership, support and challenge to the Trust as the organisation looks to build on the good work of Alan and the Board of Directors.

We are looking for someone with the qualities to contribute actively to the Trust’s engagement with the wider communities it serves."

To be eligible for the role, candidates must qualify to be a member of the NHS Foundation Trust. Applications are open until 7 November.
