Non-Executive Member

Improving the way we regulate

Nursing and Midwifery Council Member

We are seeking a registered nurse, midwife or nursing associate to join our Council as a non-executive member from April 2025.

You will join us at a turning point for the NMC. We are addressing the concerns identified in the recent independent review of our culture and are committed to improving our effectiveness as a regulator as we listen to those concerns and learn from them.

We’re making significant investments in fitness to practise to improve the timeliness and quality of our decision-making. We’re focusing on shifting our culture to become a learning organisation that is person-centred and fit for the future and which offers an environment where all colleagues can thrive.

We are looking for a professional on our register who can bring senior level experience in leading or managing culture change and/or organisational development.

We are particularly keen to hear from those who can also bring skills in areas such as leading on policy and practice in safeguarding and protecting people; or senior leadership in higher education; or senior leadership in community based nursing services or social care.

You will be joining a Council united in its commitment to improve how we protect the public. Our values – to be fair, kind, collaborative, and ambitious – must underpin everything we do.

We strongly encourage applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities as we want our registrant Council membership to reflect the professions we regulate, and the people they care for.

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.

For further information including how to apply, please contact Rhiannon Smith on 07860 773860 or rsmith@hunter-healthcare.com.  Applications should be received by noon on Thursday 17 October 2024 to applications@hunter-healthcare.com.
