Welcome to the Appointments Commission

Thank you for your interest in becoming a non-executive within the NHS. If you are appointed to a role, it will be an opportunity to utilise your talents to shape and influence the way healthcare is managed and delivered in your own community. Your responsibilities as a non-executive sitting on an NHS board will include:

• Ensuring that the board acts in the best interests of the public and is fully accountable for the services it provides
• Helping to plan strategies for improvements to healthcare services
• Ensuring that performance targets are achieved and finances are managed effectively
• Ensuring the public is kept informed

You can come from a variety of backgrounds and any walk of life. All we ask is that you have senior experience gained in your field, which could be private, public or voluntary sector.

Particular expertise in voluntary and community sectors or finance, governance and business are sometimes needed. Any such requirements will be clearly stated in the specific requirements for the post.

Dependent upon the demands of the role, remuneration will range from £5,875 to £12,663 for, typically, two and a half days of your time each month.

The Appointments Commission is committed to equality of opportunity for all and the principle of appointment on merit.
