Appointment of up to three Members to Fife NHS Board

Job Description

ROLE SUMMARY

We are looking to appoint individuals with expertise in Primary Care, Digital Transformation, and Clinical Governance. Alongside these specific skills, we are seeking people with the breadth of experience, insight and judgement to contribute effectively to strategic decision making and to provide constructive support and challenge at Board level.

NHS Fife is one of 14 territorial NHS Boards in Scotland, providing services to a population of around 375,000 people, employing over 9,500 staff and managing an annual revenue budget of over £1 billion. As a University Health Board since 2025, it works in close partnership with the University of St Andrews and a wide range of local, regional and national partners to meet the diverse health needs of its communities.

The Board’s role is to provide strategic leadership, ensure effective governance and accountability, and oversee delivery of performance and outcomes across the organisation. As a Non Executive Member, you will play a vital role in upholding high standards of governance and transparency, supporting a positive organisational culture, and ensuring that the interests of patients and the public remain at the heart of decision making.

Having a diverse Board enhances decision making and helps create a more responsive and inclusive health system. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life who can bring different perspectives and experiences. In this round, we particularly welcome applications from individuals from Black and minority ethnic communities.

While each role requires specific expertise, all appointees will contribute fully to the work of the Board, including participation in its governance committees, the Fife Health & Social Care Partnership’s Integration Joint Board, and the Fife Health Charity. You will also engage with staff, patients and stakeholders across Fife to support continuous improvement and public confidence in the organisation.

You will be supported through a comprehensive induction and ongoing development programme to help you make a strong and confident contribution in the role.
