Job description

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who feels passionate about Birmingham and the West Midlands and who wants to give back to communities here and bring their experience to a role in which they will have real impact both in terms of influencing strategy and providing support to the Chief Executive. 

University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) Charity supports four hospitals (and additional community services) that are operated by University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Since 2010 the Charity has spent over £60 million funding equipment, facilities, research and patient welfare. Every day our work makes a real difference to those visiting and working in our hospitals.

What will you be doing?

The Chair provides leadership to the Board with prime responsibility for ensuring it has agreed priorities, appropriate structures, processes and a productive culture and has Trustees and senior staff who are able to govern well and add value to the Charity.

Trustees are responsible for providing appropriate oversight, governance and leadership to University Hospitals Birmingham Charity in pursuit of its strategies to fulfil its charitable purposes.

The Chair’s main role is to provide clear leadership of the Board, demonstrate an ability to set the Board agenda and lead the other Trustees in playing a full role in the development and determination of the Charity’s strategy.

What are we looking for?

The following characteristics, knowledge and experience (or commitment to gaining them) would be advantageous to the role of Chair:

Essential

  • a high level of interest in the issues the Charity seeks to address/represent
  • a commitment to the values and principles of the Charity
  • strong business and financial acumen
  • experience of Committee work
  • highly developed interpersonal and communication skills
  • proven leadership skills
  • strong organisational skills
  • ability to understand complex strategic issues, critically assess, analyse and resolve difficult problems
  • sound, independent judgement, common sense and diplomacy
  • high standards of personal integrity and probity
  • clear understanding, and acceptance, of the legal duties, liabilities and responsibilities of Trustees
  • sufficient time and commitment to fulfil the role
  • a genuine interest in philanthropy, active citizenship and making a positive difference to the lives of people in communities across Birmingham.

Desirable

  • sound knowledge of Charity governance
  • current/previous experience as Chair of a Trustee Board OR experience in running a company or other organisation
  • solid understanding of the issues that the Charity seeks to address/represent.

What difference will you make?

This is a fantastic opportunity to bring both your experience and passion for Birmingham and the West Midlands to a position in which you will be playing a key role in helping develop both University Hospitals Birmingham Charity's present and future. They do a great deal to offer communities across Birmingham and the West Midlands added extra's over and above what the NHS can fund as well as deliver much needed support to patients and their families. This role is more than adding a new dimension to a CV or gaining experience in a different setting, it's about really helping to benefit the lives of the people around you. 

Before you apply

The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting UHB with their Chair recruitment.

If you would like to have an informal conversation in the first instance with the TrusteeWorks team or alternatively with either the Chief Executive at UHB or the existing Chair, please contact the team at TrusteeWorks who will arrange this.
