6x Independent Trustees
The Council of Deans of Health represents the UK’s university faculties engaged in education and research for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals. At any one time our members will be educating around 100,000 future and registered health professionals.
Operating as a multi-professional organisation at the heart of policy and political debate, we aim to lead policy at national and UK level, promoting the essential contribution of our members to health and social care. We are committed to working in partnership, strengthening membership engagement and intelligence gathering to influence policy UK wide for high quality education and research.
This year we started the process of recruiting a new chair to lead the Council as it starts its journey as an independent charity. Now we are seeking applicants to join the first board of trustees of the new organisation.
Applications are now open for six independent trustees who will be interviewed and assessed for their suitability by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee before being appointed by the Transitional Board.
As a UK-wide and multi-professional organisation, we are looking for trustees who have a clear understanding of the context in which the Council operates and the wider policy issues; can act as an ambassador for the Council; have leadership skills and experience at senior management or board level; experience of the charity, education and/or health sector; and who share our vision of being an outstanding organisation that advances and promotes education and research in our sector.
The Board of Trustees will contribute to the overall strategic direction of the Council in its first years as an independent charity, including setting the Council’s strategy and overseeing the development and implementation of a business plan to support that strategy. The Board will also be responsible for ensuring the charity’s financial sustainability and compliance with legal requirements. As a minimum, attendance is required at three board meetings each year and the annual general meeting; meetings will be held across the UK.
