The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is looking to appoint at least 3 new Non-Executive Directors to the Board of the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
As the independent regulator, CQC helps ensure health and adult social care services across England are safe and high quality. The health and care sector accounts for around 12% of the economy and 20% of public expenditure and is one of the most significant drivers of health, public satisfaction and economic growth.
CQC is in a period of change following a review of their operational performance. Non-Executive Directors play a key role in ensuring continuous organisational improvement, high performance management, excellent customer focus and service delivery, scrutiny, challenge, fairness, accountability, and effective corporate governance.
The successful candidates will have a career record of achievement, with an ability to operate effectively as a non-executive on the board of a high-profile national organisation. They will be able to focus on innovation, culture change, and care quality and they will have good communication skills, with the ability to work as part of a team, with a positive and constructive style.
They will have an ability to guide CQC’s strategic direction, use sound judgement, and challenge complex issues from an impartial and balanced viewpoint.
In addition, one of the NEDs to be appointed must have experience in the provision of mental health services, knowledge of the Mental Health Act, an understanding of the issues and challenges within this sector, and the ability to articulate those in a board setting.
It would be desirable for the successful candidates to have experience and understanding of healthcare in England, with an awareness of the issues that can affect both service provision and patient experience. It would also be desirable to have experience and understanding of one or more of the following: operational turnaround; cultural transformation or data-led regulation.
Remuneration will be £7,883 per annum for a time commitment of 2 to 3 days per month. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care determines the length of appointment, which will be up to 3 years.
