Board Director (Clinical)

Job description

As a Board Director (clinical), you will be responsible along with the rest of the board for jointly:

• Holding the LOCSU executive team to account, ensuring outstanding support for all LOCs through effective and efficient performance.
• Delivering strategic leadership that ensures clarity of purpose, vision and strategic direction.
• Overseeing financial performance to ensure all LOCs receive best value for their levy.
• Upholding the highest standards of governance.
• Ensuring the LOC voice is reflected in all LOCSU Board discussions.
• Ensuring LOCs are fully engaged and aware of national LOCSU work.

A strong LOCSU Board comprises a diverse blend of individuals, with a good mix of professional expertise, capable of representing the communities they serve.

Our recently retired director was a dispensing optician, and we would particularly welcome applications from dispensing opticians with experience in HR and
workforce, inc. training & development.

Insights from an array of backgrounds will ensure LOCSU make informed decisions on matters that impact LOCs, practices and the patients they serve. We consider it vital that our Board reflects our LOC membership, and we are keen to attract applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. With a strong focus on inclusion for all, we particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities, LGBT+ candidates and those from Black, Asian and Minority
Ethnic backgrounds.

Prior board experience is not required as training and development in respect of the role and function is available, as well as support from existing Board Directors; however, a willingness to speak up, contribute and challenge, as well as a desire to make a difference is a prerequisite. You will represent LOC views, but it is important to note that you will be personally appointed as a company director, responsible along with other directors for the success of LOCSU. You should be willing and able to contribute to collective and effective decision-making by the Board and to act at a strategic level.
