Background and role focus

East Coast Community Healthcare CIC (ECCH) is a successful and growing social enterprise which delivers community healthcare across areas of Norfolk and Suffolk. We currently have a “Good” rating from the CQC and we have exciting plans for the future.

The Non-Executive Director (NED) role is a key leadership position for the strategic development of ECCH as a Social Enterprise. The successful candidate will guide the evolution of our CIC, championing the strategic commitments and being a role model for a collaborative culture underpinned by our signature behaviours.

Our vision is to build healthier communities through outstanding healthcare, as a provider, partner and employer of choice.  Our strategy is designed to help us meet that ambition by setting out what we will do to benefit our communities.

Our NEDs primarily work alongside the Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer, Staff Directors and Executive Directors as members of the ECCH Board and a primary focus is to advise on the development of strategy, oversee governance and ensure the performance of the organisation and its subsidiary companies. They also hold the organisation to its strategic commitments, operating as a successful independent social enterprise with a reputation for integrity, strength and resilience.

As a staff-owned organisation, we are passionate about ensuring our employees and shareholders have a voice and involvement in setting the direction of the organisation. We have a strong commitment to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion and our Non-Executive Directors work closely with the Board to promote and facilitate the voice and inclusiveness of our staff, patients and the communities we serve.

What skills do we need?

We are particularly looking for candidates whose Board level skills and experience will complement those of our Board and Leadership Team.  Due to the imminent retirement of one of our existing Non-Executive Directors, we are specifically looking for candidates in the Commercial and/or Transformational Change field.   

What can you bring?

Because we are an employee-owned company, we particularly value the voice and contribution our employees give to the organisation. You must be able to demonstrate what this means in practice and how you live according to our values of Compassion, Action, Respect and Everyone.

We have a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and particularly welcome applications from people with a range of diverse backgrounds that can help us role model this approach.

What can we offer you?

In addition to the remuneration package, you will have great opportunities for personal growth and development. 

Staff working in our services always welcome a personal visit from our Board members and leadership team to share their insight, knowledge and experiences.

If you have a passion for transforming lives and a strong track record of delivery at Board level in a complex and/or multi-site organisation, we would love to hear from you.
