The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) is the regulatory body for the professions of nursing and midwifery in Ireland. The statutory obligation of NMBI is to protect the public and the integrity of the professions of nursing and midwifery.

The Board of NMBI wishes to appoint a Chief Executive Officer who will have overall responsibility for implementing the NMBI’s strategic priorities and leading an organisation with currently over 93,000 registrants.

This is a senior, complex, and challenging role that offers the successful candidate a unique opportunity to promote and assure public confidence and trust in nursing and midwifery practices in Ireland through effective regulation. Reporting to the President of the Board, the candidate will assume a role of paramount importance providing visionary leadership that is both strategic and operational in scope.

Consistent with the nature of the opportunity, NMBI is looking for a candidate of the highest calibre, with a proven track record at a senior level leading an organisation. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of effective regulation in a health setting, in line with NMBI’s remit of patient safety and public protection and demonstrate successfully leading on complex projects or policy change initiatives with competing stakeholder demands.
