Join HEIW Board as an Independent Member

We have a great opportunity to join our board as an Independent Member.  You will use your skills and experience to support a strategic approach to developing the Welsh health workforce now and for the future, building a truly multidisciplinary approach to our health service.

NHS Boards play a key role in shaping the strategy, vision, purpose and culture of the organisation. They hold the organisation to account for service delivery, quality and safety, performance, value for money and strategic development and implementation.

Independent Members work alongside Executive Directors as equal members of the Unitary Board. They share responsibility for the decisions made by the Board and for the success of the organisation in leading healthcare improvement and health inequalities reduction for people who use their services.

Initial appointment will be for a period of up to 4 years. However, this will be subject to the Cabinet Secretary’s agreement.

The remuneration for the role of Independent Member of the Special Health Authority is a fixed sum of £9,360 per annum. You also will be entitled, on production of supporting receipts, to the re-imbursement of travel and subsistence expenses incurred whilst on Board business.
