The CNO’s black and minority ethnic (BME) strategic advisory group is seeking a new leader to replace outgoing chair Joan Myers.
The position requires about a day a month and is suitable for those at director of nursing level or similar who have a record of achieving improvements in diversity and inclusion.
The chair will lead a new executive committee that has regional input.
CNO Jane Cummings said: ‘This is an exciting opportunity for a nurse leader who is committed to ensuring we continue to develop and build a workforce that represents the communities we provide care for at every level.’
She paid tribute to the work of Ms Myers, whom she said had done a ‘fabulous job’ during her four years in the post.
The closing date for applications is 10 January
