Chairs – NHS Pay Review Body and Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is looking to appoint Chairs of the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB) and the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration (DDRB).

The NHSPRB and DDRB are responsible for advising Government on annual pay uplifts for NHS staff on Agenda for Change terms and conditions, and doctors and dentists respectively.

To be considered for either of the two Chair roles, you must bring a strong track record of achievement in relevant senior leadership roles, that would demonstrate an ability to effectively chair a significant national review body. You will have an understanding of the role of pay and reward in motivation, recruitment, and retention amongst a professional workforce; and be able to analyse and critically evaluate complex information and exercise sound independent judgement to reach fair, evidence-based conclusions. You will also be an excellent communicator, who is able to consider and balance a range of perspectives to build consensus. 

Remuneration will be £550 per day for the preparation and attendance at meetings. This is for a time commitment of approximately 15 meetings per year. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care determines the length of appointment, which may be for up to a maximum of 3 years.
