Non-executive Director opportunity at Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust

The region’s ambulance service has a vacancy for a Non-executive Director (NED).

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is looking for a NED with a professional qualification in accounting, audit, or other recognised area of financial management to join the Trust during the summer of 2026.

NEDs make a full contribution to the Board’s debates and discussions, bringing independence, external perspectives, skill and challenge to strategy development.  This is an exceptional opportunity for the successful candidate to share their talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of colleagues and people served across Yorkshire and the Humber.

The Trust is particularly interested in candidates who can bring significant Board-level experience and be capable of chairing either the Finance and Performance Committee or the Audit and Risk Committee.  Candidates will need demonstrable skills, knowledge and experience relating to finance and related matters such as contracts, procurement, audit, and risk.  In addition, knowledge and experience of charity governance would be advantageous.

Applicants should ideally live or work in Yorkshire, or within reasonable travelling distance of Yorkshire, or have strong connections with the area and its communities.

The closing date for applications is Monday 16 March 2026 at 5pm, with interviews provisionally scheduled to take place on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

The other YAS Non-executive Directors are currently Amanda Moat (Deputy Chair), Andrew Chang, Saghir Alam OBE, Tabitha Arulampalam, Becky Malby and Melanie Hudson and the Associate Non-executive Directors are Katie Lees and Rebecca Randell. The Chair is Martin Havenhand.
