Registrant Council Member
We are seeking to appoint a registrant member for our governing Council.
Working across all four countries of the UK, our vision is to be an effective, relevant and compassionate regulator, who supports the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care. As health services in the UK continue to face intense pressure, regulation has a pivotal role to play in protecting patients and promoting the wellbeing of the workforce. We have set ambitious commitments to address inequality, embrace diversity, and support inclusion within healthcare, both as a regulator and an employer. Championing this work is a key focus for our Council and you will play a vital part in shaping healthcare in the years ahead.
You will be joining at a landmark moment, as the legislation which underpins our work is changing. In December 2024 we became the regulator for physician associates and anaesthesia associates, and wider reforms in the way we regulate doctors are underway. Leading this much needed programme of reform will positively affect how we work with our registrants, patients and the public across all our functions. Our Council plays a key role in helping us define and implement the programme that best achieves our strategic ambitions.
Our Council comprises 12 members from across the UK (six lay and six registrant). It sets our strategy, defines our high-level policies and is responsible for making sure that we fulfil our statutory and charitable purposes. We are currently seeking a new registrant member who will be able to bring their strong frontline clinical experience and demonstrable board level experience, to contribute to setting strategy, exercising oversight and ensuring effective corporate governance.
The time commitment for the appointments will average around three days a month and remuneration is £18,000 per year.
Applications for the role are welcome from all four countries of the UK. We are committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation; one that reflects those we work with and for. We actively encourage those with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply to work with us.
Closing date: 12 Noon Monday 27 October 2025. We regret that late applications will not be accepted.
