Dear Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in leading our Council.

As a Council, we are committed to reflecting the diversity of the public we serve and the professions we regulate and to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in all we do. So if you have the right expertise and skills, whatever your background or experience, we encourage you to consider taking on this critically important role.

We are looking for an inspirational Chair to lead our Council and oversee the achievement of our ambitious Strategy for 2020-2025.

Our three Strategy themes – Regulate, Support, Influence – have guided our response to the global pandemic, together with the values that underpin everything we do. We are: fair; kind; collaborative and ambitious. We are seeking a Chair who embodies our values and shares our passion and commitment for what we do.

As a UK wide regulator, we have the privilege of working across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Understanding and being responsive to the differing context, health and social care policies and services in which our professionals work across the four countries is crucial.

The nurses, midwives and nursing associates we regulate touch the lives of all of us. The current pandemic has brought home the value of what they do like never before, and how much we all need safe, effective and compassionate care.

As Chair, you will have the chance to help shape the future of nursing and midwifery and professional regulation, as we plan for major legislative reform.

You will be joining a highly motivated Council and Executive, united in our commitment and ambition to do our best for the public we serve and the professionals we regulate.

If you have the qualities, commitment, and expertise we need, I hope you will want to join us.
