Full Job Description

The Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) is the membership network for independent healthcare providers. Our members deliver a diverse range of services to NHS and private patients, including acute care, primary care, community care, clinical home healthcare, diagnostics, and mental health across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Our vision is for a thriving independent healthcare sector delivering great care to NHS and private patients. IHPN’s work programme covers topics such as supporting providers to achieve net zero; contributing to NHS services; promoting privately-funded services; developing medical governance oversight frameworks; and more.

We have over 100 member organizations, from large multinationals to small specialist providers, engaging with thousands of individuals annually through groups, forums, events, and newsletters. We also run a successful Commercial Associate programme with over 30 corporate partners. In 2024, we were named ‘Association of the Year’ at the Association Excellence Awards. We enjoy strong member support and, as a small team, achieve significant impact.

The Director of Policy role is a critical position reporting directly to the Chief Executive. The postholder will lead policy development and implementation, liaising with members and external stakeholders to ensure policy positions reflect member views and influence policymaking. The role requires an in-depth understanding of UK health policy, with a focus on its application to the private healthcare sector. The postholder will also play a key leadership role within the sector and the organization, operating comfortably at Board and CEO levels.
