You may be a Member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, or alternatively hold significant experience in a Corporate Governance role within a large business environment with evidence of ongoing professional development including specialist courses.

This is a genuine opportunity, and we’re determined to search the country to find the right person who is driven by their passion for great corporate governance and who shares our vision for joined up mental and physical health services. The appointee will have significant opportunity to create and appoint to the structure of their new department.
