Becoming an NHS IMAS Pool Member

We welcome expressions of interest from expert and experienced senior NHS staff ready to work at Agenda for Change Band 8d and above. At present, we are particularly keen to hear from individuals with strong operational, performance, governance or programme management experience.

Membership of the NHS IMAS pool will not be appropriate for all senior NHS professionals. In addition to having expertise in a specific field, individuals will need to be able to demonstrate that they have the right aptitudes for working on NHS IMAS assignments.

Being a pool member with NHS IMAS does not guarantee that you will be found work or you will be placed on an assignment. Our service is demand led and we do not send out pool members CVs speculatively to the NHS.

Interim Chair & Non-Executive Director Pool

We are looking for exceptional candidates who have experience of taking a leadership role on the board of a health organisation, where non-executives and executives perform different roles but share corporate responsibility. By applying to the Chair and Non-Executive pool, you will only be considered for these opportunities. If you would like to be considered for Executive roles, please refer to the NHS and Independent pool information on this page.
