The Florence Nightingale Museum is a much-loved cultural institution that celebrates the life, work and enduring impact of one of history’s most iconic figures.

Applications close: Monday 27th October 2025

Location: London SE1 9SG

Time commitment: c.1 day per month

About Leonard Cheshire

Leonard Cheshire has been at the forefront of disability rights and care for more than seven decades. Founded on the principle that disabled people have the right to independence, we continue to be guided by this visionary ethos as we support over 2,000 disabled people through our residential care homes, nursing homes, and supported living services.

Our 4,000 dedicated staff work across England to deliver care that is consistently rated among the highest in the sector, with 87% of our services rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by regulators. We are not simply a care provider but a pioneering force for change, championing technology-enabled independence and advocating for the rights of disabled people at the highest levels of government.

Following a period of significant challenge, Leonard Cheshire has emerged stronger and more focused and we are developing a clear vision for the future. We are focused on utilising our resources on our core mission of providing outstanding care for disabled people in the UK.

About the role

Leonard Cheshire is looking to appoint an exceptional clinical professional to join our Board of Trustees at a pivotal moment in our 75-year history as we embark on an ambitious strategy that will reshape how we deliver person-centred care for disabled people across the UK.

You will work closely with our Chief Executive, Dr Ruth Owen OBE, and Vanessa Davies, our Executive Director Quality and Clinical Care, together with our high-calibre board, to guide Leonard Cheshire through this next phase.

You will help shape policy and strategy, provide oversight of our clinical standards, and ensure that our governance reflects best practice across the healthcare and social care sectors.

Our new Trustee will contribute to decisions about service design, quality frameworks, regulatory compliance, and strategic partnerships that will affect thousands of disabled people.

Who we are looking for

We seek a Trustee who combines deep clinical expertise with commercial acumen and strong governance experience.

We are open regarding which particular clinical background you will bring, as we operate in a wide context supporting all disabled people to lead independent lives. We are particularly interested in someone who can evidence knowledge and skill in applying their clinical experience within therapeutic environments, enabling young people to live as independently as possible, within the community. An added benefit will be someone who has combined clinical and therapeutic interventions with the use of enabling technology.

Your clinical background should be complemented by experience in leadership roles where you have balanced quality, safety, and financial considerations. Perhaps you have worked in senior positions within NHS trusts, private healthcare organisations, or social care providers. You will have experience with regulatory bodies such as the CQC or have been involved in service transformation projects.

Equally important is your understanding of good governance. Experience of board-level decision making, risk management, and strategic oversight is valuable, whether gained in healthcare settings or other sectors. Furthermore, experience of working with complex commissioning arrangements and local authority partnerships is helpful.

You will bring genuine passion for disability rights and person-centred care, understanding that our work is about far more than meeting care needs – it’s about enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence.

Most importantly, you will share our commitment to the highest standards of care. You will be someone who can think strategically about quality, safety, and innovation while keeping the experiences and aspirations of disabled people at the heart of every decision.
