These are exciting times at Sheffield Children’s.

We have an ambitious five-year strategy to provide outstanding patient care, be a brilliant place to work and become a leader in children’s health. We are a trust that consistently surpasses national performance targets and in our most recent inspection of our quality and leadership we were rated ‘Good’ by the CQC (July 2019). Most of all, we are a trust that puts patients, their families and our people at the heart of everything we do.

The Head of Corporate Governance role is based at the centre of the organisation. Working with our recently appointed Chief Executive and Chief Nurse, you will help to drive our assurance systems and processes across the organisation.

You will also be responsible for our Board Assurance Framework and deputise at key meetings for the Associate Director of Corporate Affairs.

As important as someone with all the skills and competencies we are also looking for someone who lives out our values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence. In return we offer a mix of hybrid working and the opportunity to grow and shape this role and our future as an integrated children's trust within an exciting and fast moving health system.

This role will sit under the Associate Director of Corporate Affairs within the People and Organisational Development care group within a small and friendly team working alongside executive colleagues, and supporting the entire corporate governance framework across the Trust.

The post holder will support the Chief Executive, Chief Nurse and Associate Director of Corporate Affairs, together with colleagues from across clinical and non-clinical services, to ensure the Trust has effective frameworks in place, to provide and promote assurance of compliance with regulatory requirements set out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The post-holder will also support the corporate assurance function of the Associate Director of Corporate Affairs through management and maintenance of the Board Assurance Framework and ensuring its readiness for presentation to corporate meetings and in support of the Annual Governance Statement.

They will act as deputy for the Associate Director of Corporate Affairs in the trust secretary role, and at other corporate meetings, supporting various governance processes and wider management of the team.

Sheffield Children’s is one of three independent, specialist paediatric hospitals in the country, providing dedicated healthcare for children and young people across community, mental health and acute specialist settings.

We have three overarching aims that set the direction for the Trust in our vision “to create a healthier future for children and young people.”
- Outstanding patient care
- Brilliant place to work
- Leader in children’s health

Our commitment to rewarding colleagues is demonstrated through our brilliant reward and benefits offer including; generous annual leave entitlement and pension scheme and access to salary sacrifice schemes such as cycle to work and lease cars.

We are committed to supporting colleagues from different heritages and lifestyles while at work. This is supported through the offer we have in place for flexible working and the three equality network groups we have in place. Colleagues are encouraged to join these groups and request flexible working.

Within the next few years we have plans to go even further, building a new helipad and upgraded emergency department on our Hospital site, as well as delivering the first National Centre for Child Health Technology on the Olympic Legacy Park which will build on our reputation as a leader in research. You will join at a time we will be delivering on these projects and working towards the celebrations of our 150thyear.
