For more than 160 years, British Home has provided specialist care and neurorehabilitation for adults living with complex neurological conditions, including acquired brain injury, stroke, and progressive neurological diseases.

British Home is entering an important period of development, having expanded its clinical services with a Level 2b intensive neurorehabilitation service and specialist tracheostomy care provision, supporting British Home's ambition to become a national leader in neurological rehabilitation and therapeutic care.

As the charity continues to evolve, the Board is seeking to appoint a Clinical Trustee who can bring senior clinical expertise and strategic insight to support the charity’s future direction.

The Role

In particular, the Clinical Trustee will provide insight and support in areas including:

• Clinical governance and quality assurance
• Continuous improvement in patient care and service delivery
• Development of innovative service models within neurorehabilitation and complex care
• Strategic oversight of regulatory compliance, including Care Quality Commission standards
• Supporting the organisation’s ambition to expand and strengthen its specialist rehabilitation services

Trustees also act as ambassadors for the charity, helping raise awareness of its work and building relationships across the wider health and care community.

About You

You will bring:

• Senior clinical leadership experience
• Strong understanding of clinical governance and regulatory frameworks, particularly CQC standards
• A commitment to continuous improvement in patient care and service quality
• The ability to contribute strategic insight at Board level

You will also share British Home’s commitment to improving the lives of people living with complex neurological conditions and to strengthening the organisation's long-term sustainability and impact.
