As the NHS and local authority services face significant change, it’s vital that people remain at the centre and their voices are heard. We are seeking new Non-Executive Directors to help guide the next stage of our growth.
This is a great time to join a well-led and well-governed organisation, bringing your existing skills, or building your experience on a Board, as we offer a warm welcome, friendly atmosphere, mentorship and training – as well as the chance to make a real difference.
Luminus is a Community Interest Company which exists to empower local people to have their voices heard. Our vision is a society where everyone’s voice is heard, so we all receive the support we need for our wellbeing. We care passionately about everyone being able to get the support they need from the NHS, social care, local community and wider services provided to the public. We hold a range of contracts, including Healthwatch Surrey, and have ambitious plans to grow. This is a great time to join a well-led and well-governed organisation, bringing your existing skills, or building your experience on a Board, as we offer a warm welcome, friendly atmosphere, mentorship and training.

Luminus welcomes applicants with a diverse range of perspectives and experience, and welcomes people seeking their first Non-Executive Director (NED) role.

We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those from ethnic minoritised communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ communities, and those with lived experience of social or health inequalities. If you are passionate about our mission but unsure whether this role is for you, we would love to hear from you – we welcome fresh perspectives.
Time commitment: Quarterly Board meetings plus workshops and potentially sub-committees – around 1 to 2 days per month.
This is a voluntary, unremunerated role, although we do cover all reasonable expenses and applicable care costs.
