Provide Trust-wide leadership on corporate governance including supporting the provision of corporate governance advice to the Chair, Chief Executive and Board of Directors.

Lead the Corporate Affairs secretariat function that runs the Board of Directors and the executive management team and the key related committees.

Ensure that the Trust complies with relevant legal, constitutional and regulatory requirements including compliance with its provider licence.

Help maintain a comprehensive and robust corporate governance framework across the Trust, regularly evaluating and improving this as the Trust evolves.

Develop and drive excellence, establishing outstanding governance policy and practice across the Trust, including ensuring that all relevant governance documents are maintained.

Contribute to the design and delivery of a comprehensive induction and development programme for non-executive directors and governors.

Lead on the development of the Trust’s annual report and statements that form part of the annual report and accounts.

- Strive to be the best
- Act with integrity
