Introduction:
MioCare is a growing care organisation, where the issue of governance is taken with the utmost importance. As a Non-Executive Director (NED), your role is to provide a creative contribution to the Board by providing independent oversight and constructive challenge to the Executive Directors (Institute of Directors, 2024).
Non-Executive Directors are asked to bring an independent judgement to bear on organisational issues of strategy, performance and resources including key appointments and standards of conduct. In doing so, this is about providing constructive challenge and support, strategic guidance, offering specialist advice and holding the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to account.
What we are looking for in a Non-Executive Director...
Experience in health and social care:
We are particularly keen to hear from those individuals who can bring adult health and social care experience and expertise at a governance level. You will have a deep level of experience, credibility and an understanding of leadership and governance which includes the clear distinction of the roles between the company Board (Non-Executive Directors) and executive leadership and management (the senior leadership team).
As a Local Authority Trading Company, MioCare Group can be subject to a degree of political scrutiny. Having keen political acuity and an appreciation of the role of Elected Members and the complex health and social care environment an organisation like MioCare works in will be an advantage. Above all, you will share our values and commitment to delivering public benefit to the people we serve.
Our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion:
We are committed to, and actively promote, equality of opportunity for all and we want our Board of Directors to reflect the diversity of the population we serve and our workforce. We welcome all applications, especially from under-represented groups, including people from minority ethnic communities, and those whose lived experience provides our Board with a fresh perspective. If you support and value high-quality, person-centred care, whilst sharing our values, commitment and passion we would love to hear from you.
Term in office:
A maximum of three terms of three years each. Each term is subject to appraisal.
Commitment:
Non-Executive Directors are asked to commit 12 days per year.
Attendance at four Board meetings per year and four Sub-Committees, one to two strategic planning events, visits to services and other relevant meetings where appropriate.
Development and induction:
A full induction into the organisation will be provided and any areas of development supported with appropriate guidance and training.
Remuneration:
The role receives an annual allowance of £3,258 per year. Reasonable expenses will be paid.
Location:
All our meetings are held in in person, at our main office in Oldham or one of our service locations (virtual participation on occasion is fine). Away days may be held elsewhere.
