As a member of the NES Board and leader of the NES Executive Team, you will fulfil the critical leadership role for the Board at a time of significant change across the health and care sectors.  Of particular importance is the Chief Executive’s ability to create new and strengthen partnership working across the health, care and education sectors, influencing policy at  national level..  

You will have a significant track record of strategic management and leadership at Board level within a complex organisation.  Experience of leading and delivering transformational change as well as dealing with a range of complex issues within a politically sensitive and multi-stakeholder environment is essential.  Experience of the health service / education sector is desirable but not essential.
