The NHS Confederation is the largest representative body of health and social care across the UK and together with our new CEO, our trustee board has an exciting and urgent strategy that places patients and citizens at the forefront of our thinking. We are working with, supporting and challenging leaders across the UK, to innovate and transform our healthcare systems to help improve the NHS and the nation’s health. We are right at the sharp end of influencing governments and policy around building a future strong and resilient NHS and health infrastructure that can meet the future needs of the UK and ultimately improve the nation’s health.

This is an exciting time for our organisation and a period of unprecedented challenge for the health and social care sector as a whole and consequently there has never been a more important time to take on a voluntarily national leadership role of this nature.

We are seeking a committed individual, ideally with a financial background, who can

  • support and keep trustees informed about their financial duties and responsibilities including compliance with relevant legislation and charity commission guidance. 
  • fellow trustees on the financial implications of NHS Confederations activities, and its present and future financial needs. 

The individual will Chair the Finance and Operations Committee which also provides governance oversight on operational areas such as premises and IT.
