Associate Director of Corporate Governance

The Associate Director of Corporate Governance is a critically important role within Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) - working closely with the Chair, Chief Executive Office and the Board of Directors. We are looking for an individual with the highest levels of integrity and the ability to guide senior leaders effectively on complex matters. We need someone who can work at pace in an ambitious organisation, providing leadership to our governance team and confidently working with multiple stakeholders including our Council of Governors. We are keen to ensure that governance is an enabler of effective and ambitious collaborative working - and are looking for an individual who shares our vision.

We are incredibly proud that CWP is rated Outstanding for Caring overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Good in all other domains - Safe, Effective, Responsive and Well-led. We are also recognised as an overall top performer through the CQC Community Mental Health Survey and our NHS Staff Survey results show that our people continue to be both proud to work here and of the standard of care we provide.
CWP provides health and care services for local people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care – including the provision of three GP surgeries. We employ more than 4,500 staff across 62 sites in Wirral and Cheshire, as well as Trafford, Warrington, Bolton, Halton and Liverpool, serving a population of over 1 million people. We also provide highly specialist services for 2 million across the North West as a whole.

Building on all of this, we continue to innovate, improve, transform and ultimately aim to deliver the very highest standards of care for the people and communities that we serve. This is an exciting time to be joining our organisation. 

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity. The best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve and we welcome and encourage applications from all backgrounds.
