Would you like to make a difference and contribute to the work of the Care Inspectorate? If so, this is a role which may interest you. We are offering an opportunity to join the Care Inspectorate’s Finance and Resources Committee as a co‑opted member – a non‑voting role that will support the Committee’s work on key issues affecting the organisation.

About Us: Our Corporate Plan 2026‑2031 sets out our aspirations and strategic direction for the next five years. Our vision is that everyone in Scotland receives high‑quality, compassionate care, support and learning when they need it, which upholds their rights and choices. We are investing in digital and data services, supporting public service reform, and engaging widely with other organisations and providers across the sector. Currently, we have around 680 staff, a Board of 11 members and an executive leadership team of five led by our Chief Executive.

Finance and Resources Committee

We are looking to co‑opt a non‑executive committee member onto the Finance and Resources Committee, a committee of our Board. The Committee has been in place for almost two years and addresses the key budget reporting and preparations for the Board, as well as Human Resource related functions of a strategic nature. This role is not a full Board Member position and therefore does not carry voting rights.

Responsibilities

In this role you will provide support, advice and assurance to the Finance and Resources Committee in respect of human resource issues to promote the effective running of the organisation.

Skills and Experience Required

• a qualified human resources professional with breadth of experience in the public sector, in particular experience of oversight or leading the implementation of organisational change
• experience in promoting and embedding health, safety and wellbeing across organisations
• experience in developing and implementing people strategies
• experience in promoting and embedding equality, diversity and inclusion across organisations

Length of appointment

The appointment will be for an initial period of six months and may be renewed by mutual agreement.

Time commitment, remuneration and allowances

Remuneration for this post will be £24.94 per hour, or £187.05 per day for every 7.5 hours (includes meeting preparation) on a pro‑rata basis. This includes two quarterly meetings in the first six months, subject to renewal or extension. Travel and subsistence for duties associated with the appointment will be reimbursed. You are not entitled to a pension, gratuity or any other compensation when your appointment ends.

Equal Opportunity Statement

We welcome and encourage applications from all candidates regardless of age, race, sex or gender identity, religious beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or neurodiversity. We particularly welcome applications from groups currently under‑represented on Scotland’s public bodies, such as women, disabled people and people aged under 50, and from candidates looking for a first step towards a non‑executive committee or Board member role.

How to Apply

To apply, submit a CV and supporting statement (no more than 1000 words) setting out your experience against the required skills. Email your application by midnight on Monday 20 April 2026. If you require any reasonable adjustments to support you through the application and selection process, contact us via the provided email address. The appointment process will include an interview with the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive and a Board Member, anticipated for Thursday 30 April via Microsoft Teams.
