Joint Chair – Stockport NHS FT and Tameside & Glossop IC NHS FT

The Joint Chair has a unique role in leading two NHS Foundation Trust Boards of Directors and Councils of Governors. The role combines the duty to lead effective governance, consistent with the Nolan principles and NHS values, whilst delivering a long-term vision and strategy for both organisations.

The Joint Chair will lead the two organisations enabling both Trusts to harness the strengths of each other, sharing innovation and opening up opportunities for greater collaboration for the benefit of the populations the Trusts serve. Fundamentally, the Joint Chair is responsible for the effective leadership of each Board and will be pivotal in creating the conditions necessary for the effectiveness of the two Boards, both collectively and individually.
