Skills for Care, the strategic workforce development and planning body for adult social care in England, has appointed Peter Chambers to its board.

Chambers has more than 30 years’ experience of governance, risk and control in the UK and overseas. He began his career at PwC where he spent 10 years as the appointed auditor for several NHS and local government bodies offering him experience of the adult social care landscape.

Alongside his non-executive roles, Chambers works on various projects in a freelance capacity.

Skills for Care’s chair John Coughlan said: “We had a lot of quality applications to join our board, so I’m delighted to welcome Peter Chambers as a trustee. Peter not only brings decades of audit and risk experience to support our governance, but also has a clear understanding of the challenges facing adult social care.”
