Meet our Board and Executive Team
The Trust is managed by a Board of Directors, which sets our strategic direction and monitors performance and progress. The Board is made up of Non-Executive Directors, who use skills and experience gained from the private, public and voluntary sectors to help run the Trust, but who do not have day-to-day managerial responsibilities here, and members of the Executive Leadership Team, who are paid employees with clear areas of work responsibility within the Trust. Two members of the Executive Leadership Team are not members of the Board, but attend all Board meetings.
