Role summary
ICHP is a company limited by guarantee, supported by a hosting arrangement with Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust, who employ our staff members. ICHP is governed by its Board, which has collective responsibility for the organisation’s performance. The Board is led by an independent Chair, Professor Sir Mark Walport, to whom our Company Directors (representative constituents from ICHP’s members) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are accountable. The Board plays a critical role in shaping our strategy, vision, and purpose, and holds the organisation to account for the delivery of our strategy and objectives. The Board is also responsible for ensuring any organisational risks are managed and mitigated effectively.
ICHP is now seeking two exceptional individuals to join our Board in Non-Executive Director (NED) roles. All successful candidates will bring their strategic, executive expertise to ICHP as we seek to deliver our vision of a healthy and productive population with equitable access to innovative health and care services.
This is an exciting time to join ICHP, as we launch a brand-new three-year strategy at the beginning of 2026/27 – setting out clear goals and priorities. This strategy will be delivered through our ‘MissionsPlus’ approach:

- Supporting research and innovation insight, institutional networks, subject-matter authority
- Experience of using healthcare data and informatics for the benefit of research and innovation and patient care
- Business / Industry experience within the health or life sciences sectors
In addition, the following qualifications are required:
- Extensive business/industry or academic acumen in the health sector.

Time commitment for NEDs
The time commitment and workload for NEDs will be approximately 12 days per year. This includes half days attending our quarterly Board meetings, plus approximately half a day preparing for each of those meetings. There will be a similar time commitment for candidates who become a member of either of our two Board sub-committees – the Finance, Audit & Risk (FAR) Committee or the Remuneration & Appointments Committee (RemCom). NEDs will be expected to attend Board meetings and the meetings of the committee of which they may become a member.
Additional information
Each NED will have the opportunity to work closely with members of the ICHP Executive Team – allowing for a deeper insight into the work of ICHP and for NEDs to provide the Executive Team with the benefit of their particular expertise, experience and networks.
