Public Governor
I have lived in Barnsley most of my life and being retired I have time to devote to this important role within the local area. I am married with a son and I live near the hospital. My family and I have used local NHS services over the years and I would like to give something back. I care about the NHS and I am keen to help the Trust deliver high quality healthcare for the community.
I hope to see the Trust develop through partnerships with local medical providers and ongoing input from Trust members. Ensuring effective teamwork with the involvement of ALL healthcare people and partners is key to delivering the strategic goals of the Trust.
I worked for GPO Telephones, then BT, for 30 years in technical roles. My last few jobs were in management. I experienced many changes within a large complex organisation. I left BT on voluntary redundancy terms and retrained. I succeeded in qualifying in training and QSE (Quality, Health & Safety - environmental management and auditing). In my last work role, I was Group QSE Manager for a national security company.
In view of my knowledge and varied experience I believe I can contribute, and help the Trust succeed.
Rob's current term runs to 14.03.26.
