Jean-Philippe Perraud Founder at NEDonBoard", "Having attended Social Media for Beginners, I have both a fuller understanding of the positive impact that appropriate use of social media could have on my business and better technical knowledge of the different tools available. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to engage in cost neutral but effective marketing. Paul Mayo Chairman at SaRS, Managing Director at SQEP Ltd", "Marketing for Non-Marketing Directors

\'\'Right from the start of the Marketing for Non-Marketing Directors course, the importance of marketing strategy to the future of any company was made plain; Duncan was very clear about the pivotal nature of the role of the board in marketing strategy, and the consequences - for the long-term sustainability of the company - of failure to engage. I consider myself duly forewarned! Chris Jones Managing Director Meta Mission Data", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'I thought the course was enlightening and very rich in content. I particularly liked the balance of case study analysis with emphasis on a NED's key responsibility.

Excellent course giving a clear picture of the role, the skills and characteristics required, the range of NED opportunities and the various routes to secure such positions. As a bonus you also meet interesting people and useful contacts. A good career investment. Mark Lambert, Non-Executive Director", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'I attended the 19th July course in Bristol and found it to be very informative. Not only was there a wealth of technical information provided but there were numerous case studies - based on real incidents - which were really thought provoking.I would happily recommend this course to anybody who is considering taking up the challenge of being a Non-Executive Director Andy Farrall Founder Director of Management and Safety Training Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
The course covered the background to governance comprehensively but more usefully for me was some of the practical issues in becoming a non-executive director, particularly in the SME sector Graham Matthews", "How to become a Non-Executive Director

\'\'I attended this course shortly after starting my first Non-Executive Director role and found David’s expertise and insight to be invaluable. The course also covers practical things such as how to go about finding Non-Executive Director roles – and so last week (6 months after I attended the course) I started my second NED role, and have an interview for a third one next week. I can highly recommend attending this course for current or aspiring NEDs.

I cannot recommend this course too highly Chris Kenber Practical business coach bringing clarity and energy to help ambitious business owners raise their game", "\'\'I really enjoyed the last meeting. The seminar in particular was the best Social Media session I have attended. I have managed to grow my twitter following from 50 to 582 and counting Ed Kenworthy IT Consultant at Alphatec Systems Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
I found the course very helpful, as I wanted to understand in detail what a NED role entailed. I felt that I gained enough information not only to decide if this was the sort of role that I would be interested in, but also to be able to function in such a role. The guidance on seeking appointments was an added bonus. It was also an interesting day with a varied group of delegates and I would happily recommend it. Julia Iball, Managing Partner at Henmans LLP", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
I would thoroughly recommend this course. It gave me an excellent overview of the role of a NED and a clear steer on how best to look for and be successful in becoming a NED. All my pre course questions were answered. The examples the tutor gave were interesting and stimulated good debate. The small size of the group allowed questions and good dialogue. Look no further for a course on this subject Helen Sharpe Managing Director Education Division Priory Group", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'The course was a really thorough grounding in what it means to be a non-exec director and how you can apply your knowledge and skills to the role to good effect. The combination of useful information about corporate governance and directors' liabilities, a very experienced and insightful course lead in the form of David Doughty, and practical exercises about how to address particular situations that NEDs can expect to face made for a very interesting session, but also one which was directly applicable to my new role. Jane Ginnever FRSA Founding Director, SHIFT", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
I found the day stimulating and informative. It confirmed many of the areas I was aware of working with a Board as a Company Secretary and refreshed my knowledge on some of the legal aspects of the role Barbara Suggitt Company Secretary at Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'The course was well constructed and delivered by David who has extensive knowledge of a range of boards, their structure and governance. It was particularly helpful to me as I am new to applying for NED roles and the guidance made me totally rethink what is required from the application process – i.e. this is not an operational role!  The delegate group was of a suitable size to allow for interaction and sharing of ideas and experience Jane Paine Chief Executive Officer at Age UK North Lincolnshire Ltd", "Unlike many courses I have attended in the past, How to become a Non-Executive Director went beyond just the technical aspects of being a 'Non-Exec', and reflected on the differences in the approach required compared to being an Exec Director.
It allows you to make a fully informed decision on whether a Non Exec role is right for you, and if it is, how to go about finding opportunities.
An invaluable day of learning! Alastair Lewis Managing Director at Carlisle Support Services Ltd", "Sales for Non-Sales Directors

\'\'John delivered a thought provoking and insightful workshop. Ideal for Non-Executive Directors aspiring to fully understand sales and how to create strategic commercial value at board level Alastair McIvor Director of AMT Ltd", "Thank you for the interesting session on Social Media that I attended recently.
It was very thought provoking, and I left armed with a list of actions to take to improve the on-line presence of my business.
Thanks again. Sarah Schofield Owner of SchofieldVA, providing a wide range of business support services", "Having attended one of David's Social Media seminars in the past, can I highly commend anyone still sitting on the bottom rung, watching everyone else climb the social media engagement ladder, to attend, listen and be enlightened by what David will no doubt convey Sam Finlay Experts in Creating Engaging Video & Animated Videos that Explain the Value of What You Do.", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
As an introduction to the world of NED's this course is well structured to give an honest and practical insight in to how to identify and prepare for a move in this direction. Money well spent!

Members - Tayside NHS Board

Reference: 3881
Remuneration: £17,684 per annum
Location: Tayside
Closing date: 08 February 2021 at midday

This is an exciting time of transformational change for NHS Tayside, and this is your chance to take on a rewarding and worthwhile opportunity and be part of the team who are designing and delivering changes which are improving performance and are developing the capability and capacity to return NHS Tayside to its place as one of the most innovative and best performing Health Boards in the UK.

Applications are invited from a wide range of people who have an interest in public service and are committed to the NHS in Scotland.  Please pass on details of these opportunities to anyone else you think may be interested.

NHS Tayside is responsible for meeting the health needs and improving the health and wellbeing of over 400,000 people living in Tayside, and provides a comprehensive range of primary, community-based and acute hospital services for the populations of Angus, Dundee City and Perth & Kinross.

NHS Tayside is looking for three new members to join its Board.  As a non-executive member of this Board, you will have a key role in supporting the delivery of the organisation’s strategic direction in addition to contributing to scrutinising performance, and discharging governance and accountability functions.  All successful candidates will be required to sit on one of the local Integration Joint Boards (IJB).

NHS Scotland’s values are at the heart of everything that this organisation does. These values, as outlined in the Everyone Matters: 2020 Workforce Vision, are: care and compassion; dignity and respect; openness, honesty and responsibility; and, quality and teamwork, and they guide the work of the Board in all that it does.  As a member of the Board, you will not only need to have the right skills, knowledge and experience for the role, but also be able to demonstrate behaviour aligned to these values.

For one of these positions, NHS Tayside are looking for an individual who has relevant clinical or health work experience.

In addition to this requirement and the values highlighted above, you must also be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Knowledge about, or connection to, health and/or social care services in the area served by the Board
  • Ability to influence decision making, work collaboratively and challenge constructively
  • Analysis and decision making
  • Longer term planning / Seeing the bigger picture

Although not essential for any of the roles, for two posts it would be helpful to the Board at this time if you had any of the following:

  • Relevant experience of the voluntary sector; public health; or mental health

You do not need to be an expert in health or have previous experience of being on a Board.  We are looking for people who have the capacity and commitment to develop their skills and to learn new skills they may require.  You will be offered the training you need to make a strong contribution.

We value very highly the benefits of having different experience and points of view on our Boards.  Scottish Ministers particularly welcome applications from people with protected characteristics that are currently under-represented on The Board of Tayside NHS, such as: disabled people, LGBTI+ people, those from black and minority ethnic communities and people aged under 50.

For more specific detail of the particular requirements of the roles, please see the the person specification, which forms part of the application pack.  Also included in the pack is more detailed information about Tayside NHS and its role within NHS Scotland.

  • Remuneration:   £17,684 per annum (non-pensionable) is payable.  You will also receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel and subsistence costs and any reasonable dependant-carer expenses incurred whilst undertaking Board duties and for support required to help you carry out your duties effectively
  • Time commitment:  The time commitment will vary week to week, but on average the role will take up around 16 hours per week.  This time will be a mix of daytime Board meetings, committee meetings, reading documents and attending stakeholder events.  You should also demonstrate an adequate degree of flexibility to attend at a greater frequency subject to the Board’s ongoing business needs.
  • Appointment details:  The term of appointment will be for up to 4 years.  When a term comes to an end, the skills the board requires will be reassessed.  If you satisfy the requirements of the new person specification at that time, and there is evidence of your effective performance, Scottish Ministers may consider reappointing you for a further term.  A non-executive member’s total period of appointment in the same role will not exceed eight years.
  • Location:  Under normal circumstances, meetings of the Board will be held in Ninewells Hospital.  However, due to Coronavirus the majority of meetings are being held via Microsoft Teams.  It is expected that the majority of the work can be carried out at your home. (Going forward, the work will be a blend of virtual and physical meetings.)
  • Interviews:  We are planning for interviews to be held online on 2nd - 4th March 2021.  We will conduct the interviews remotely by MS Teams video link.  If Public Health guidance permits face to face interviews at that time, we may be able to consider these as an alternative if required by a candidate.
  • Further information:  If you would like to discuss these opportunities in more detail, you are welcome to contact the Chair, Lorna Birse-Stewart, or Trudy McLeay, one of our senior Non-Executive Members, by calling on 01382 740708; or by emailing [email protected]
