Nuffield Foundation
Trustees
London
2001-017L
The Nuffield Foundation is an independent charitable trust, founded in 1943 by William Morris, Lord Nuffield. Its mission is to fund research, analysis, and programmes that advance educational opportunity and social well-being across the United Kingdom. The Foundation is not simply an academic funding body, though the research it funds must stand up to rigorous academic scrutiny. All the Foundation's activities seek to advance social well-being across the domains of Education and Skills, Justice and Welfare, particularly for those whose opportunities are constrained by disadvantage at different points in their lives.
The Board of Trustees of the Nuffield Foundation seeks to appoint up to three new Trustees. These individuals will be committed to the mission of the Foundation. They will bring an understanding of how research funded by the Foundation can influence policy making and practice, with an academic authority and wider public impact to improve the lives and life chances of those the Foundation serves.
Under its current strategic plan, the Foundation has significantly increased its activity. It has more than doubled its spending on research grants, launching a £15m strategic fund. It has established two new bodies The Ada Lovelace Institute on the impact of AI and data on people and society, and the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory. The Foundation has for a number of years co-funded and housed The Nuffield Council on Bioethics, the UK's national bioethics body, independent of Government.
Trustees are required to work with fellow Trustees to provide governance and strategic oversight, ensuring the organisation is well placed, and has the financial stability to deliver on its mission, objectives and ambition. Trustees approve decisions on major grants and awards. Each Trustee will use their specific skills, knowledge or experience to support aspects of the overall leadership and strategic development of the organisation. This may involve sitting on sub committees, leading discussions on key issues, providing advice and guidance on key aspects of the grant portfolio or other initiatives where the Trustee has expertise.
The Foundation seeks highly experienced, motivated and enthusiastic individuals. Successful candidates may have acquired the appropriate experience from a range of backgrounds, including the academic/research, public service, business and civil society domains. Previous Trustee experience is highly desirable, and although experience within the charity or academic sector is not essential, an understanding of, and commitment to, the philanthropic and public purposes of the Foundation will be needed.
The Nuffield Foundation has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on these appointments. For further information about the position and additional details on, requirements, terms and conditions of service and how to apply, please follow the link to the position specification below.
The closing date for applications is 23:59, Tuesday 17 March 2020.

Geonomics England
Chair
United Kingdom
2001-024L
Genomics England is leading the world in genomics research and medicine by sequencing genomes at an unprecedented scale and leading the analysis that will transform our understanding of genetic diseases. This pioneering work is already making a difference to the lives of people whose genomes have been sequenced: 1 in 5 rare disease patients have received a diagnosis and half of cancer patients have been directed to new trials or treatment plans. The power to identify diseases before they are apparent shifts the focus to preventative and personalised healthcare, and can deliver immense financial benefits to global economies, reducing the need for care and allowing people to live healthier, more productive lives.
This is a pivotal time for Genomics England as it evolves from a project-based organisation to a scalable, government-owned company and global hub within a new ecosystem of genomics research. With the appointment of a new Chief Executive last year, the organisation is well-positioned to fulfil its mission of embedding genomics and personalised medicine within the NHS.
Genomics England is seeking a Chair to lead its high-profile board in this unique challenge. The Chair will bring exceptional communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a complex stakeholder landscape. S/he will be an ambassador for Genomics England and an advocate for this rapidly evolving field. S/he may come from any sector, though a passion to deliver transformative healthcare and an interest in scaling new technology is essential.
Genomics England has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on this appointment. For further information about the position and additional details on qualifications, requirements, terms and conditions of service and how to apply, please follow the link below to the position specification.

It will also include coordinating with global and regional stakeholders to build an ambitious new multi-stakeholder Results-based Universal Electrification Fund for Africa in partnership with multilateral development banks, donors, philanthropic organizations and national governments.
The ED will bring a deep knowledge and networks across of the energy access and power space in Africa, and the right mix of leadership, entrepreneurial and management skills needed to drive this effort forward. This will include supervision of Directors and other team members, building a coalition of high-level partnerships at multiple levels, ensuring effective execution to deliver results on the ground.

Health Education England
Chief Executive
United Kingdom
1911-075L
Established in 2012, Health Education England (HEE) exists to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and public of England through working and collaborating with others to plan, educate and train the workforce of today and tomorrow. With a budget of c.£4bn, HEE works in partnership with a range of organisations both nationally and locally, to deliver its critical and core role of planning, funding and supporting healthcare education and training for more than 160,000 students across over 300 different roles, including doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics and physiotherapists. HEE has also, in recent years, taken a significant and growing role within in the global healthcare workforce arena to support the NHS, the Government, partners abroad and individual clinicians to meet their needs for education, training and development.
Advances in science and technology provide new tools and present new challenges for educators, and HEE is at the core of developing educational and training approaches that are fit for a modern workforce. The NHS is embracing new ways of working: striving to integrate care so that patients experience joined up care, and these new pathways have implications for both how to train specialists, and for the numbers of staff required in each care domain. HEE thus has a key role to play in ensuring that the forthcoming NHS People Plan is both deliverable and aligned with the Long-Term Plan. This is an exciting time to join the organisation.
The Chief Executive leads an organisation of around 3000 based in a number of regional hubs and at the main sites in London and Leeds. A recent Board refresh and rapid change in the health sector make this a period of transformation and opportunity for HEE. The Chief Executive must be credible with senior audiences and capable of delivering effectively in a highly complex and ambiguous context where executive authority is dispersed across a number of partnership bodies. S/he holds the convening power across both education and health to initiate complex discussions and deliver a strategy that extends across many organisations such as universities, hospitals, royal colleges and standard setting bodies, including internationally where appropriate.
Candidates for this exciting role should be first class leaders, with a strong record of delivery and a commitment to partnership working. The ability to work across a complex landscape will be important, with the personal credibility and communications skills to be effective in dealing with ministers, the media, students and other stakeholders. A demonstrable commitment to learning and development is essential, and some knowledge of healthcare, the NHS and/or public service would be helpful. Above all, HEE needs to be inspired by a thoughtful new chief executive committed to building a talented and diverse workforce, who is able to paint a vision for the future, and galvanise the team to deliver this vision.
HEE has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on this appointment. For further information about the position and additional details on qualifications, requirements, terms and conditions of service and how to apply, please review the position specification via the link below.
