Chair – Nursing and Midwifery Council

We are seeking the next Chair of Council. This role is open to both lay people and professionals on the NMC’s register.

Our vision is safe, effective and kind nursing and midwifery practice that improves everyone’s health and wellbeing. As the independent regulator of more than 826,000 nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England, we have an important role to play in making this vision a reality.

The NMC is at a turning point, and there has never been a more crucial moment for a values-led and purpose-driven leader to make a transformative difference to the organisation and the people it serves. We’ve heard concerns about our culture and effectiveness as a regulator and we’re committed to improving as we listen, learn and act.

We have already begun to lay the groundwork for positive change, and we are now looking for a new Chair to lead us through a multi-year transformation programme for our culture and regulatory work.

You will be an outstanding, strategic senior leader and a highly skilled Chair with a demonstrable commitment to advancing equality, diversity and inclusion, and ensuring organisations are equitable and inclusive in their work, both within internal cultures and in external organisational impact. You will bring a deep understanding of cultural transformation/organisational development, plus experience of leading and overseeing delivery in complex organisations. And you will be passionate about improving health and care for the benefit of people and communities everywhere.

We want the membership of the Council to reflect the diversity of the professionals we regulate and the public we’re here to protect, so we’re keen to hear from people with the right skills and expertise from diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and walks of life.

As our work covers all of the UK, we welcome applications from across all four nations: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

You will need to be able to devote 3 days a week to the Council; in return you will receive an annual allowance (currently £78,000 a year) and reasonable expenses.

For further information including how to apply, please contact Rhiannon Smith or Jenny Adrian on 07939 250362 or jadrian@hunter-healthcare.com

Applications should be received by 09:00 on Monday 25 November 2024 to applications@hunter-healthcare.com
