Join the LOCSU Board

17 April 2026

 

LOCSU is currently looking to recruit one new Board Director (LOC) for a three year term. 

The LOCSU Board has a vital role in the governance of the organisation; ensuring it is effectively and properly run and is meeting its overall purpose. Our Board Directors have a wide range of knowledge and experience. 

We are currently looking to recruit a new Board Director (LOC), able to bring forward views and knowledge gained from LOCs in England to inform Board discussions and decisions. You will be an excellent strategic thinker, with a passion for improving opportunities and outcomes for community services. The role will offer the opportunity to use your skills and expertise at an exciting and challenging time for LOCSU and eye care within England. 

To ensure a balanced board with a wide spectrum of views and lived primary eye care practice experience, we would particularly welcome applications from dispensing opticians and wide geographical representation to complement our existing Directors (LOC). 

Joy Tweed, LOCSU Chair, said: “Being a board member is a responsible but rewarding role. If you have the skills and experience, I do hope you will consider this leadership opportunity and apply.” 

The appointment will commence 1 July 2026 and will be for a term of three years, to stagger director appointments and retain organisational memory.  

Full details can be found in the application pack here. 

Please complete the application form included in the above pack and return it to Trisha Dinsdale, LOCSU Executive Assistant, tdinsdale@locsu.co.uk no later than 12 noon on 19 May 2026, with interviews due to take place in June.
