The Council

The Council is our governing body. It sets our strategic direction, takes key decisions and makes sure we fulfil our duty to protect the public.

We are seeking four new members to join our governing Council, to support us on our journey towards becoming the strong and independent regulator everyone wants to see.

We’re looking for:

  • Two registered professionals, including at least one midwife, with extensive Board-level experience
  • Two people who have never been on our Register, with extensive Board-level experience, a track record of delivering transformational change and the skills needed to serve in a Trustee role.

Email Helen Howard at Hunter Healthcare to sign up.
