Chair

Clarendon Executive has been retained to appoint a Chair of the Board for one of the UKs leading premium elective healthcare providers, a business on an ambitious and exciting trajectory of growth and expansion. Backed by a sophisticated international private equity investor, the company currently operates five state-of-the-art clinics across the UK and Ireland, with further strategically important locations in development. With a clear vision, strong operational foundations and significant investment behind it, the organisation is building a highly distinctive platform within the sector and is exceptionally well positioned for continued scale and success.

We are seeking an accomplished and commercially astute Chair who will bring the experience, judgement and presence required to lead the Board through its next phase of development. The successful candidate will have a distinguished track record of driving growth, operational excellence and customer experience within complex, service-led and multi-site organisations. Equally important will be the ability to foster a high-performing and collaborative board culture while supporting and challenging the executive team in equal measure.

Experience within healthcare or another highly regulated, customer-centric environment would be advantageous, although candidates with broader experience of scaling premium service businesses of substance and complexity will also be of strong interest.

A central dimension of the role will involve balancing the entrepreneurial perspective and culture of a founder-led business with the governance expectations and strategic priorities of an experienced international private equity investor. The Chair will play a critical role in maintaining alignment between stakeholders while ensuring a disciplined focus on sustainable long-term value creation.

This represents a rare opportunity to join the Board of an innovative, clinically-led and high-growth organisation at a defining moment in its evolution. The remuneration package will reflect the significance and profile of the appointment.

To apply, and for further information, please contact Ciaran Sheehan, Managing Partner, Clarendon Executive.

Application deadline: Monday, 25 May 2026.

Our client is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in the workplace.
