Chief Executive
£55,000
Bristol and remote hybrid working
Full-time, permanent

Founded in 1986, Sight Research UK has invested nearly £18 million in research projects that bring scientists ever closer to answering some of the most fundamental questions about eye health and how eye disease develops.

Our vision is to bring forward the day when sight loss and blindness are a thing of the past. Our mission is to fund pioneering research that can translate the most promising scientific findings into new solutions for patients, at the fastest possible rate. 

The charity sight loss sector generates over £250 million each year to support people living with hereditary or acquired sight loss as well as their families and friends. In comparison, the voluntary income raised to support research into the prevention and cure of sight loss is a tiny fraction. Less than £7m is raised each year for research.

This is a shocking imbalance given the huge potential of science to improve the lives of people living with sight loss or who will acquire it in the future.

With our work and with the potential that exists for new partnerships in the voluntary, health and private sector, we can position SRUK to be able to play a significant part in ensuring that more funds become available to drive research progress faster.

To lead us in our next phase of development, we are looking for a CEO who shares our determination to capitalise on the potential for driving more income to support much needed research. 

This is a hands-on role with many areas of direct delivery. It is flanked by excellent and brilliant colleagues who thrive in a flexible working environment where everyone is supported to give of their best.

The CEO will be supported not only by its outstanding team but also by a committed and proactive Board of Trustees which provides relevant skills and expertise with passion and enthusiasm for our future. 

How to apply

For an informal and confidential discussion, please contact our recruitment partner, NFP Consulting

Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement, which should be around two sides of A4 and set out your motivations and credentials for the role.

Closing date: Tuesday 31st May

Our aim is that all people in North Devon are accepted and respected for their individual humanity within a truly inclusive, supportive and welcoming community.  We are passionate about challenging and transforming attitudes including prejudice, discrimination and abusive practices so all people feel safe, included and valued within their own and the wider community. 

Our excellent CEO is moving on to a new challenge and we need to find someone who can lead us through our next period of growth, helping us to increase in our income and extend our reach.  You will be as passionate as us about social justice and inclusivity for all.  We are looking for someone whose leadership style is that of empowerment and support, an active listener and someone who helps us achieve great solutions to some knotty problems.  You will thrive in a fast-moving environment and be able to respond to changing priorities.  You will represent and promote the charity to a range of stakeholders and potential partners, so you will be confident and credible.  We would be delighted to receive applications from those people with previous experience in our area of work, either from a professional background or lived experience.

We exist to ensure our members get the best possible experience during their time at Solent University. We represent the voice of students, campaign on their behalf and provide a high-quality advice to our students.

Many of our students have to balance work, family and other commitments alongside studies and work around the clock to gain the most from their educational experience.

We care deeply about the wellbeing of our students and have developed innovative services such as our Safe Solent scheme which ensures that our students can get a safe taxi home, free of charge, if they are studying late.   

We are currently at the end of strategic plan. This plan was set before the pandemic and therefore our priorities, operations and our physical location have all changed. Over the course of our next strategic plan we will need to address three primary challenges.

They are; to enhance our levels of engagement, to build equity and inclusion into everything we do and to diversify our income streams.

We have begun to address these challenges by taking managed risks to rebuild our event portfolio. Sending our team on NUS’s race equality training programme and developing new partnerships to generate additional income. We know that further actions and changes will be needed.

We believe that this is an exciting time to join us as CEO, lead our new strategy and provide the visionary leadership to make the appropriate changes.  

As CEO, you will benefit from an engaged staff team, many of whom are new to the SU. All of our staff have ideas to enhance the SU and are open to change.

Our ideal candidate is approachable, inclusive and collaborative with a willingness to take managed and informed risks.

We want you to find solutions to benefit a complex membership. We realise that not all ideas will be a success, it will therefore be important that you have the analytical ability to measure impact and take challenging decisions.

We are open to first-time Chief Executives, but expect that you will have some demonstrable experience of leading growth, change and/or enhancement.

We welcome applications from all candidates, especially from people traditionally underrepresented in leadership.
