The Sustain alliance – members and colleagues – represent a rich source of expertise and well-proven, viable solutions to many of the challenges that face us. These need to be supported and replicated at scale, with barriers to adoption removed. It is the job of the Sustain alliance to cultivate the movement, win the policies and other support for solutions, and accelerate the process of change.
As a Director, you will have a key role in supporting the development of new and fundable areas of work, as well as contributing to organisational strategy and decision-making for Sustain.

Since its creation in 1987 Education for Health has been providing education and training to Healthcare Professionals. We provide a range of Higher Education courses from Certificate to a full master’s programme along with a growing range of Essentials, Refreshers and webinars across a range of long term conditions.
During the pandemic we created a new model of delivery – an interactive blended online learning model (IBOL), enabling people to access their learning at a time and a pace that suits them. This is supplemented by live interactive webinars and recorded lectures.
This is a pivotal time for the charity; the pandemic had an adverse impact on our income as weary healthcare professionals had no time or energy to devote to training. However, it provided us with an ideal opportunity to refresh our products using state of the art authoring tools and develop a new Learning Management System (LMS). The result was an ambitious automation programme, organisational restructure and functional realignment.
We also used the time to review our market and create new products. By bringing together sales, marketing, communications and customer focus into one directorate, we believe it will create a better coherence to enable us to achieve our ambitious plans. We have started the new financial year on a good footing with a plan in place to grow income from £1.5million to £1.8million this financial year, with similar growth each year to 2025. We are confident there is considerable potential to raise the profile of the charity to maximise impact and growth by extending our customer base geographically and widening our reach through strategic partnerships, campaigns, and working with more opinion leaders.
As a member of the Executive Team, the Director of Finance and Organisational Performance will use their experience, ideas, and knowledge of finance and organisational performance to lead Education for Health’s Finance, Systems, Information, Data and People functions to fulfil our business plan, supporting healthcare professionals to improve health outcomes.
