Recruitment

We are currently recruiting for the following:

Council Associate

We are looking to appoint the next Council Associate to join our Council. This is an opportunity for an osteopath to contribute to the work of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

The Council Associates Programme seeks osteopaths who have the potential to develop their skills and knowledge to take on future board/non-executive roles, either with the GOsC or elsewhere. It also gives Council Associates the opportunity to share their opinions within the discussions that take place, however they are not able to vote on the decisions made by full Council members.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in personal development. In return, we will provide you with the necessary support and mentoring to give you the best chance of learning and developing new skills. We believe that diversity – including life experience, skill set, and thought – is a strength, and we welcome applications from a wide range of individuals who might be interested in joining our Council.

You will be expected to commit no more than 10 days a year and will be paid £200 a day. We pay reasonable travel and subsistence expenses. Appointment starts on 1 April 2025 (initially for up to two years). Note that these positions are only open to osteopaths.

If you’re interested but unsure of what’s involved, come along to our 45 minute webinar on 30 September at 6pm. You can ask questions and hear directly from our current Council Associate, Laura Turner. Sign up to attend

Closing date: 11:30am Wednesday 16 October 2024

In-person interviews: February 2025
