A unique opportunity to work with enthusiastic and passionate healthcare experts to have an impact on the care of respiratory patients 

The Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS) is a multidisciplinary, UK-wide professional society, passionate about developing a holistic, high value patient-centred and integrated approach to caring for people with respiratory conditions.

We are seeking a dynamic Chief Executive, who, by working closely with our Executive Chair, will help us deliver our strategic direction and shape our future. The Chief Executive is accountable to the PCRS Trustees.

Our work includes campaigning to influence policy and set standards in respiratory medicine, describing how to deliver value-based healthcare that supports service development and redesign, and educating health professionals working in primary and community settings to deliver and influence out-of-hospital respiratory care.  The PCRS executive, elected from our membership, is the driving force of the organisation, and brings together enthusiastic clinical experts from across primary, community and integrated care settings.

We are a small but ambitious organisation which has successfully evolved over 30 years and which has a very significant influence nationally. We run our own programmes and events, including the very successful annual PCRS Respiratory Conference, as well as working with partners to reach out to wider audiences and to publish our well-respected international scientific journal.  As such, we need a Chief Executive who can both manage operational detail and provide strategic direction.  Securing funding from our pharmaceutical and other healthcare company sponsors is a key aspect of the role. Knowledge of the NHS, a facilitative leadership style, and understanding of how to get the best from busy professionals are essential pre-requisites for success in the role.

We operate as a virtual organisation and the role is home- based. Some travel, primarily to London and the home counties is required for face to face meetings. Working hours are flexible, though some evening work is required for telephone and video conferences with committees /working groups.

To apply, please submit a full CV and covering letter by the deadline of February 28th 2020. Interviews will be held in London on March 23rd 2020.

We live in the midst of radical changes to the ways people access news and information.

When Index on Censorship was founded nearly 50 years ago, few could have foreseen the manner in which technology would now be changing the ways we engage with politics and democracy. Although the landscape of communication has changed, threats to freedom of expression remain as grave as they were 50 years ago – in the UK and around the world.

Index is looking for a resourceful and outspoken leader to steer the organisation through this changing terrain, and to protect the right for everyone to be free to express themselves without fear of harm or persecution – no matter what their views. From tackling legislative threats to digital freedom at home, to spotlighting issues of repression and censorship in China, Russia and Azerbaijan, we are seeking a Chief Executive to put free speech for everyone at the forefront of the political, campaign and news agenda.

What you will do

Index on Censorship has a small team that punches well above its weight. You will ensure the organisation is well run and enjoys a healthy office culture, strong relationships with the board and diligent financial management, so that we are well set to protect freedom of expression for another fifty years.

You will be the main outward face of Index on Censorship and build that presence on broadcast media, in the papers and on social media. You will be confident in championing the cause of freedom of expression and when explaining why it must be protected as a universal right for all, even at times when others are looking to close down conversations.

You will be an excellent fundraiser, nurturing relationships and developing philanthropic partnerships which allow us to continue our advocacy campaigns, our magazine and our projects to support freedom of expression. We have a strong board with which you will work closely, while also building your own networks, to ensure we receive the financial backing we need from private individuals, corporates and foundation trusts.

You will build Index on Censorship as both a publisher of freedom of expression and a campaign organisation – a leader in advocacy for freedom of expression, ensuring that voices are heard beyond those normally associated with our cause. Through building strong partnerships and networks you will enable us to grow our capacity to advocate for individuals and groups, including to the government.

How to apply

Send your CV and a cover letter of no more than three A4 pages outlining your suitability for the role.

As Chief Executive Officer, your commitment to our mission and vision should drive an ethos of excellence, so that we are a model for the Muslim community and the charity sector.

You will represent the ELM & LMC, leading on all aspects of our work, putting forward our views and those of the community we serve, which will be rooted in the authentic teachings of Islam. You will ensure always that our reputation is protected and enhanced.

Through your leadership, you will drive the ELM & LMC forwards, building on our achievements to deliver even more, not only to the Muslim community, but to British society and beyond.

Any offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory enhanced DBS clearance and references. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK. The ELMT has determined that there is a genuine occupational requirement that applicants must be Muslims (Equality Act 2010).
