How Aneurin Bevan University Health Board communicates with and responds to its key stakeholders and manages its corporate business is critical to the organisation in setting the tone at the top and this post holder will play a fundamental role in supporting the Chief Executive's office to achieve that.

The Chief Executive's office provides the Chief Executive Officer with personal support across the full range of their responsibilities, identifying issues that require particular attention to avoid escalation and acting as a key channel for communication between the Chief Executive Officer, the Chair, Executive Directors, colleagues within the Health Board and senior colleagues in NHS organisations, Welsh Government and other external partners such as Local Authorities, MSs, MPs and Members of the Public.

Manage the busy diaries of the Chief Executive to ensure that they are constantly up-to-date and that meetings are organised promptly which requires balancing competing priorities and ensuring that deadlines are met without compromising standards.
