Council Associate Programme – applications close Thursday 31 October 2024 at 5.00pm.
The Council Associate Programme seeks to identify individuals within the profession who have the potential to develop their skills and knowledge to potentially undertake future non-executive positions and gain invaluable insights into corporate governance workings and arrangements, either at the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) or elsewhere. At the same time, the Council wants to hear from a wide range of voices to inform its decision-making.
The Council Associate will take part in all our Council meetings and related activity. They may also get involved in our other committee meetings to maximise their transferable experience. Outside of meeting activity we want our Associate to regularly meet informally with their assigned Council and Executive buddies. We are looking for candidates with potential and a passion for, and interest in, the work of the GCC, public protection, and a desire to contribute to public service. Previous committee or board experience is not a requirement.
Interviews will be held on 18 November 2024 and we anticipate the successful candidate beginning their term from 1 January 2025.
We have a strong and cohesive Council, committed to a bold strategic plan and programme of transformation. Our Council members bring a wide range of skills and experience from both lay and professional backgrounds.
(you will require a CV and also be asked to complete an equality, diversity and inclusion monitoring form as part of your response)

Known issue for Apple users
There is a known issue with Safari and Apple when filling out radio buttons on PDF forms. Your choice will be saved within the PDF, but it does not show when you reopen the form in Safari. This does not affect any other sort of form field. There is also a related issue that the scroll bar on form fields may not scroll when the document is reopened. We appreciate this can be confusing, but it is outside of our control. We advise completing the form in one sitting, and copy and pasting your responses from a separate document.
