HEIW will recognise the value of all professionals in the sector, working to provide raised standards of training and skills to every student or trainee. Further, it is expected that HEIW will develop, over time, significant expertise in workforce intelligence and the shape of the workforce, offering other health bodies leadership and advice on role and team design to maximise performance. HEIW will work closely with partner bodies, such as Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and Social Care Wales, in relevant areas of its work to develop an integrated view of workforce needs now and in the future across the health sector. Crucially, the new body will also set the task of leading the work to promote the health service in Wales as a premier career choice, across all roles and across all of Wales.

The role of Chair

The Chair will hold the Chief Executive of HEIW to account and are themselves accountable to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services for the performance and effective governance of the Health Authority. They will up hold the values of NHS Wales and promote the confidence of the public.

The Chair will provide strong, effective and visible leadership, ensuring the effective delivery of the organisations visions, aims and objectives whilst maintaining the highest quality of health standards and practices.

Appointments will be made on merit although consideration will be given to the need to establish a balanced skills mix to the Board.

The Chair will be appointed for up to a four (4) year period. The post is based on a notional time commitment of a minimum of fourteen (14.5), however this will be subject to organisational demands so may be higher than the minimum requirement, with a salary of £43,326.
