First Community Health and Care is recruiting for a Director of Quality, People and Multi Professional Leadership, a senior board-level post based in Redhill, Surrey, with applications closing on Monday 17 November 2026.

The permanent role carries a salary of £112,782 to £129,783 a year and is listed on the organisation's own careers page, with applications made through NHS Jobs. The successful candidate will join the board of First Community Health and Care, the NHS community health and care provider, and take responsibility for quality, workforce and multi-professional leadership across its services.

A board role covering quality and people

The post is described by the organisation as an exceptional opportunity to join its board. The director will oversee the quality of care, the experience of staff and the leadership of the many different professions that deliver community health services, from nursing and therapy to support roles that help patients at home and in clinics.

Board-level quality roles of this kind sit at the centre of how an NHS provider is run. The director will be expected to make sure services are safe and effective, to lead work on patient safety and learning from incidents, and to support the recruitment, development and retention of staff. The post also covers multi-professional leadership, bringing together the different clinical and non-clinical teams that work side by side in community care.

Based in Redhill

The role is based in Redhill, at the RH1 1YB site, in the heart of the area the organisation serves. First Community Health and Care delivers NHS community services across east Surrey and the surrounding area, and its Redhill base is the hub for many of its teams.

The organisation says it values diversity and inclusion and is committed to the recruitment and retention of people from underrepresented groups. It particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates with disabilities.
