Non-executive opportunity at the General Osteopathic Council

Appointment of Chair/lay member of the Investigating Committee

The General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) is the UK-wide statutory body established by the Osteopaths Act 1993 to regulate and develop the osteopathic profession and ensure public protection.

We are looking for a new lay member to join our Investigating Committee with the possibility also of being appointed as a Panel Chair and Chair of the Committee.

The GOsC’s Investigating Committee considers all complaints against osteopaths received by the GOsC. Investigating Committee panels make an initial determination whether there is a ‘case to answer’ and if the matter should be referred to the Professional Conduct Committee. The Investigating Committee also has powers of interim suspension in relation to osteopaths.

The remuneration for the role is £306 per day. Travel and subsistence expenses are also refundable in line with our expenses policy.

We are keen to consider suitably qualified applicants who do not already sit on other regulators’ panels/committees.
