Our purpose is simple yet powerful – to make a difference for every person and every moment that matters. Guided by our CARE values - Compassionate, Accomplished, Respectful, and Encouraging - we foster a culture where everyone feels supported, recognised, and empowered to do their best work.
We are seeking to appoint two Non-Executive Directors to join our board and help guide our strategic direction, performance, and governance. These roles offer a unique opportunity to contribute to a growing, patient-centred organisation making a meaningful impact in the communities it serves.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant with recent senior finance leadership experience, a proven track record of delivering results in complex organisations, and preferably with experience as a non-executive director.
For the second appointment, we are seeking a senior leader who will bring strategic insight and leadership in transformation. The ideal candidate will have commercial or public sector experience in using digital technologies to transform service delivery and a proven track record of delivering results in complex organisations at director level or equivalent.
You will bring inclusive leadership, sound judgment, and the ability to make challenging decisions that support long-term strategic goals.
