Non-Executive Members – Nursing and Midwifery Council

Improving the way we regulate

Nursing and Midwifery Council Members

We are seeking two non-executive members to join our Council in October 2025.

• A professional currently on our register with senior level experience in leading or managing culture change and/or organisational development.

• A lay person with board/senior level performance management expertise who can chair our Finance and Resources Committee and sit on our Audit and Risk Committee.

We are the independent regulator of more than 841,000 nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England. We want to improve how we protect the public by supporting safe, effective and kind nursing and midwifery care that improves everyone’s health and wellbeing.

This is a pivotal time for the NMC as we work to earn back trust and confidence in our ability to protect the public through the effective regulation of nurses, midwives and nursing associates. Phase one of our corporate plan for 2025-2026 is recovery, and our resources and efforts will focus on the effective delivery of our core regulatory functions, underpinned by a clear programme of cultural transformation.

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 particularly keen to hear from people with the right skills and expertise from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds.

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 at least 3 days a month to the Council; in return you will receive an annual allowance (currently £15,166 a year) and reasonable expenses. An additional allowance of £2,000 per year is available for the Chair of the Finance and Resources Committee

For further information including how to apply, please contact Rhiannon Smith – rsmith@hunter-healthcare.com or 07860773860

Applications should be received by noon on Thursday 19 June 2025.

Registered charity in England and Wales (1091434) and in Scotland (SC038362)
