Job description

Would you like to lead an innovative health think tank - enabling it to achieve more of its potential and encouraging a more preventative approach to mental and physical ill-health in the UK?

As Chair you’ll:

  • Help Health Action Research Group develop more of its potential as an independent health think tank, on a sustainable basis

  • Ensure effective governance, 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

We'd like to hear from you, if you have:

  • 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.
