There are 11 vacancies for Public Governors throughout Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Luton.

Governors play an important role as they reflect the views of their constituents. They promote and help support the Trust’s strategy and hold the Board’s Non-Executive Directors to account. Governors can contribute and make a difference to patient care. There are:

  • 5 vacancies in Mid and South Essex;
  • 2 vacancies in North East Essex and Suffolk;
