Council member vacancies (x2)
The Council member role is a prestigious one and both the process and the appointment must secure credibility and respect from a wide range of stakeholders including the professionals on our register and government. The Council member role specification for these vacancies is at annexe 1.
Council appointments are made by the Privy Council. All aspects of the search and selection process must be conducted in a way that inspires and upholds confidence in professional regulation, the NMC and the Privy Council.
It must also meet the requirements of the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) for Health and Social Care .The PSA scrutinises the process used to select the recommended candidate and advises the Privy Council about whether the process has met the required standards.

We have three upcoming vacancies on the Appointments Board (a Chair and two members). The role specification for these vacancies is attached at annexe 2. All members of the Appointments Board are Lay, i.e. individuals who are not and never have been, a registered nurse, midwife or nursing associate.
