What difference will you make?
Would you like to lead an innovative health think tank, enabling it to achieve more of its potential and encourage a more preventative approach to mental and physical ill-health in the UK?
As Chair, working with the Vice Chair, fellow Trustees and Research Director, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future development of an independent health think tank, with a distinctive focus on how best to reduce the risk of mental and physical ill health.
Your leadership will help ensure Health Action Research Group achieves more of its potential and makes a positive contribution to the nation’s health.
What are we looking for?
- Experience of being a Trustee
- Experience of helping organisations grow and develop
- At least five years relevant UK experience of health research, health policy and/or health interventions – with a focus on preventing (as opposed to treating) ill-health
- Enthusiasm for our guiding principle that prevention is better than cure and that health in the UK should be more than a postcode lottery.
- The ability to build relationships and advocate for and champion our work
- An inclusive leadership style – able to inspire and support everyone to participate
- Able and willing to commit an average of 3-5 hours per week to the role
- Commitment to Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
What will you be doing?
- Help Health Action Research Group develop more of its potential as an independent health think tank, on a sustainable basis
- Ensure effective governance, within the constitution and charitable remit, including chairing Trustees’ meetings and leading the recruitment and induction of new Trustees
- Represent Health Action Research Group, where appropriate, at external meetings and events
A willingness to lead an aspect of our health research is not essential but would be welcome.
