Appointment of Member to NHS Education for Scotland Board:
NES is looking for one new member to join its Board.

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) is the Education, Training and Workforce Development Organisation for the NHS, and is also a provider for the care sector, in Scotland and helps to provide better patient care by providing educational solutions for workforce development.

If you would like to find out more about the role of NES and its members please visit their website: NHS Education for Scotland | NES

If you are looking for a rewarding and worthwhile opportunity, we would like to hear from you.

Applications are invited from a wide range of people who have an interest in public service and are committed to the NHS and social care in Scotland.

Please pass on details of these opportunities to anyone else you think may be interested.

As a non-executive member of the Board, you will be expected to play a central role in supporting the provision of the high quality education, training and lifelong learning of NHS and social care staff, which is vital to providing excellent health services.

You will be offered the training you need to make a strong contribution.

Skills/Experience Required:
NHS Scotland's values are at the heart of everything that this organisation does.

These values, as outlined in the Everyone Matters:

2020 Workforce Vision are:
- care and compassion;
- dignity and respect;
- openness, honesty and responsibility; and;
- quality and teamwork

These values guide the work of the Board in all that it does.

Remuneration and time commitment
£9,030 per annum (non-pensionable) is payable for a time commitment of around eight hours per week. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
