At Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, we provide acute hospital and community health services to more than half a million people living in the North Kirklees and Wakefield districts of West Yorkshire. We offer services from three main hospitals – Pinderfields (Wakefield), Dewsbury and Pontefract, and in the community at a range of settings such as health centres, clinics, GP surgeries, family centres and in people’s own homes. With approximately 10,000 staff and an income circa £860 million, we provide our services by working locally in partnership with a range of statutory and voluntary sector organisations. 

We are an improving Trust with a clear ambition: to deliver excellent patient experience every single time. At this challenging yet exciting moment, both for our organisation and for the wider health and care landscape, we are seeking to appoint a Clinical Non‑Executive Director to join our Board.

We are looking for a senior clinical leader, either a nurse, medic or AHP. You will bring senior strategic experience, ideally gained at Board level within a large and complex organisation, along with a strong record of clinical leadership. You will have experience of leading or supporting transformational change and be confident operating across complex partnerships and multi‑stakeholder environments.

As a Non‑Executive Director, you will provide independent insight, constructive challenge and supportive scrutiny to the executive team. You will help ensure our decisions are grounded in high standards of governance, quality and safety, and that the voices of patients, staff and communities remain central to how we develop and improve. Above all, we are seeking someone with a genuine commitment to people, a passion for improving health outcomes, and a strong belief in the value of excellent, equitable healthcare services.

We warmly encourage applications from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, to improve the diversity of our board, ensuring we are reflective of the populations we serve. Applicants should ideally live in or have connections with the Wakefield and North Kirklees area served by the Trust.
