The Director of Governance and Performance provides senior leadership for organisational governance, performance management, assurance, risk oversight and corporate reporting. The role is expected to support the Board and executive team, coordinate effective reporting against strategic and operational objectives, and promote accountability, transparency and continuous improvement. Applicants would normally need substantial experience in NHS or similarly complex public-sector governance, performance, assurance or business management, together with strong knowledge of regulatory requirements and healthcare standards. Excellent leadership, communication, analytical and stakeholder-management skills are essential. The successful candidate should be able to interpret complex information, challenge constructively, manage competing priorities and work confidently with clinicians, executives, governors and external partners. This is a maternity-cover appointment requiring adaptability and the ability to deliver results quickly.
