Applicant Eligibility

You must be able to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the fit and proper person test and that you have no substantial conflicts of interests that would interfere with your ability to be an NHS Director.

Given the significant public profile and responsibility Directors of NHS boards hold, it is vital that those appointed inspire confidence of the public, patients and NHS staff at all times. We will undertake several specific background checks to ensure that those we appoint are “fit and proper” people to hold these important roles. More information can be found on NHSE website. All NHS board members are required to comply with the Nolan Principles of Public Life and meet the Fit and Proper Persons requirements.

Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The ICS needs diverse, inclusive and compassionate leaders who not only reflect the community they serve and the staff employed, but have the leadership style and breadth of perspective to make good collective decisions. We are really interested in receiving applications from people with different backgrounds, skills and experience that can help drive forward our agenda and advance the health and care of our local population.

We value and promote diversity, inclusion and are committed to equality of opportunity for all. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve.

We prioritise Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, team health and wellbeing and the principles of kind leadership in our 'ways of working'. All role holders will have a key role in nurturing this culture.

There is emphatic evidence that diverse boards make the best decisions. We want to increase the diversity of NHS board teams. In Non-Executive roles nationally, it is known that women, people from the local Black Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, Lesbian, Gay Bisexual Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) communities, younger people and those with lived experience of disability are all under-represented.

Applications will be assessed on merit, as part of a fair, open and transparent process, from the widest possible pool of candidates. The information provided by applicants will be relied on to assess whether sufficient personal responsibility and competence have been demonstrated in previous / other roles, to satisfy the experience, skills and values being sought.
