Help shape the future of your NHS – become a Non-Executive Director
The NHS is at the heart of our national life, managing 300 million patient interactions a year and as the UK’s largest employer, with a workforce of 1.5 million, the NHS is both a major economic force and symbol of national pride.
The 10 Year Health Plan has set out a compelling vision for the future of healthcare and we’re building a new generation of non-executive directors (NEDs), with the skills and expertise required to deliver on these plans. These are intellectually stimulating and vital roles, offering the opportunity to:
Shape organisational strategy and set strategic direction
Oversee the delivery of healthcare services, upholding the highest standards of quality (which includes outcomes / effectiveness, safety and experience) for patients
Make a tangible difference to the health and wellbeing of millions
Enhance your executive or portfolio career and develop non-executive skills
Join the NHS non-executive director talent pool
Our talent pool will equip senior professionals from across a wide range of sectors and skills with the tools and experience to become a future NHS NED.
Individuals will need to provide independent oversight, constructive challenge, and external insight to enable organisations to deliver the best care for patients and value for money.
We are looking for senior leaders from a range of sectors that best align with the needs of the future NHS with expertise in:
Clinical
Customer experience
Finance and audit
Operations
Property and asset management
Digital, technology and AI
Data and analytics
Strategy
Change management
Workforce and people management
In addition to specific expertise in those areas, all applicants must have the ability to:
Provide independent judgement, external insight, and constructive challenge at board or senior leadership level
Understand and scrutinise data, in particular finance and quality data, to inform robust decision‑making
Support and challenge senior leaders to ensure plans and strategies are ambitious, credible, and deliverable
Build strong, effective internal and external relationships, based on trust, influence, and professional credibility
Engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders and partners across complex environments
We are keen to hear from all types of people to bring these different skills and experience to benefit the NHS and to help bring about transformation to the NHS of the future.
By joining the pool, you’ll gain:
Tools and learning to help you prepare for an NHS NED role
Insight into NHS governance and structure
Increased visibility and opportunities to connect and network with current NHS chairs and NEDs
