Are you passionate about health justice? Medact is seeking a new Chair of the Board to help oversee our governance and support our work.

About Medact

Medact organises the health community to work towards a world in which everyone is able to live healthy, dignified lives, supported by political and economic systems that centre health justice. Our priority work areas are some of the most pressing threats to health and wellbeing, including ending state violence, housing & energy justice, and migrant access to healthcare. Medact seeks systemic solutions to major social problems, and is unafraid to hold decision-makers to account. We launched our new five-year strategy at the end of 2025, embedding our vision for how we win and how we grow.

We’re member-led, and our membership spans a range of people who work in health, including nurses, doctors, midwives and clinical researchers, as well as people from the wider health community. 

We are now looking for a new Chair of our Board of Trustees. If you share our vision and passion, why not join our Board and help us fight for health justice?

About the role

Our Board of Trustees provides guidance, governance and final sign-off on major decisions on behalf of our membership. Trustees are collectively responsible for the governance of the organisation in line with the requirements of the Charity Commission. Trustees also contribute to the development of Medact's strategy and participate in a range of other activities to support the Director and staff with our work.

There are four planned board meetings per year, which are hybrid, and it is expected that each Trustee will attend most Board meetings. Trustees are also sometimes asked to give their views or sign off on issues between Board meetings if an issue cannot wait. It is hoped that each Trustee will have the capacity to use their unique skills to support the team more broadly with Medact’s work.

As Chair, you will support the Executive Director and staff to help build on our achievements and realise Medact’s vision. You will work with fellow Trustees to make up a strong and effective Board governing the Charity. 

Acting as a Trustee is a voluntary role but reasonable travel expenses can be paid. 

Who we are looking for

Our current Board brings a broad range of skills, but we recognise that we do not yet reflect the diversity of the health community. There are also specific types of experience and expertise we would like more of on the Board. In particular, we are looking for potential Trustees with one or more of the following attributes:

• Lived experience of an issue that Medact campaigns on, for instance the Hostile Environment, the health impacts of economic or housing injustice, the health impacts of armed conflict or UK security policies

• Experience as a frontline health worker of any sort, preferably current

• Legal and safeguarding expertise

• Fundraising expertise, particularly individual giving or major donor fundraising

• Human resources expertise

As Chair, you will be actively networked within the health community or broader social justice movement and highly experienced in governance or strategic leadership of a charity or NGO. You will have the skills to line-manage the Executive Director. And you will have the ability to advocate on behalf of Medact’s work, as well as helping to build the membership and public image of the organisation. 

We hope all Trustees will: 

• Share our vision for a fairer and safer world, and our analysis of the transformational change needed to get closer to it

• Approach Board discussions and conversations with the team with an open mind, able to listen to and genuinely engage with others’ views

• Display collaborative behaviours which promote harmony and good team working which supports Medact to be an effective, well-governed organisation

Previous experience on a charity board or in another governance role is useful but by no means essential. If you are interested in becoming a Trustee but aren’t sure you have the right skills and experience, or would like an informal conversation with an existing board member before applying, please get in touch.

Timeline

Applications are open until 9am on Monday 9th March. 

We aim to interview candidates in March. Please let us know when applying if you are unavailable during this period.

Qalyup

We connect patients with vetted international healthcare providers for affordable, safe, and transparent medical care abroad.

NQ Solicitor

About Qalyup

At Qalyup, we believe people should be able to access the healthcare they need to improve their health and quality of life.
 
Every year, thousands of patients travel internationally for medical treatment. While this can unlock faster access to care and specialised expertise, it can also carry significant risks. Between 2019 and 2024, 28 British nationals died while undergoing medical treatment overseas. And that is only the visible part of a much larger problem.
 
Qalyup exists to change that.
 
We connect patients with vetted, high quality healthcare providers abroad, helping people return home healthier and with peace of mind. To ensure trust and transparency, we personally visit and assess clinics using our proprietary clinical quality assessment methodology, developed through academic research at Imperial College London.
 
Our mission is simple: make healthcare tourism safer. But our ambition is global ��

The Role

We're looking for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join us at a pivotal moment, helping build the legal foundations of a purpose-driven healthcare startup from the ground up.

This isn't a passive role. You'll do real work that matters: creating, reviewing, and implementing the frameworks that will shape how we operate, protect our patients, and grow responsibly. By the time you're done, you'll have a portfolio of tangible, measurable achievements, not just experience ticks.

What You'll Do

• Create employment and volunteer contracts to support our early recruitment efforts.
• Create advisor agreements with performance-driven vesting schedules.
• Create co-founder agreements with performance-driven vesting schedules.
• Review and strengthen our patient-facing terms and conditions.
• Audit and refine our privacy policy for compliance and clarity.
• Evaluate and review our contractual agreements with partner clinics.
• Implement a scalable contract management system.

What You'll Bring

• Qualified solicitor in England & Wales.
• A genuine interest in healthcare law and the regulatory landscape.
• Proactive, solutions-first mindset; you spot problems before they're asked about.
• Openness to feedback and a drive to keep improving.
• Alignment with our mission-driven and social impact purpose.

Why Join Qalyup

Healthcare decisions are deeply personal. When people consider treatment abroad, they are often navigating uncertainty, urgency, and the hope of getting their health and their life back.
 
At Qalyup, we are building a trusted gateway that helps patients make these decisions with confidence. By bringing transparency and clinical quality assessment into healthcare tourism, we aim to remove the uncertainty that patients and families often face.
 
By joining our legal function, you will help shape a company working to make international healthcare safer, more transparent, and truly centred around the needs of patients. Your insight will help us build a trusted brand that empowers people to seek the care they need with confidence.
 
If this resonates with you and you would like to learn more, we would love to hear from you ��

Our Values

�� Clinical quality above all
We work with vetted providers that deliver clinical excellence. Our clinical partners are carefully selected and monitored.

���� Listening is our superpower
Hearing what our users and colleagues have to say is our most powerful tool for continuous improvement.

���� Empowering informed decisions
Individuals have the right to make informed decisions about their care and finances. We want to make this process easy and transparent for our customers with the use of technology.

���� Helping others
Whether it is a colleague, a customer or a community in need, we will make best efforts to support as individuals and as a company.

Curans

We provide an AI virtual patient simulator for clinical reasoning, examination, diagnosis, management, and feedback.

Role Description

At Curans, we exist because medical students and early career doctors need a safe place to practice before they care for real patients.

�� We are building an AI virtual patient simulator that helps learners practice clinical reasoning, history taking, physical examination, diagnosis, management, and communication.

We are now expanding this mission into a new area: helping institutions build fairer and more effective clinical assessment systems. We believe assessment should not only measure performance, but also support learning, reduce harmful bias, and help every learner grow in a fair and transparent way. This direction strongly aligns with current work in medical education calling for more equitable, learner-centered assessment systems in medicine and nursing.

We are looking for a Grant Application Writer who believes in this mission and wants to help us turn strong ideas into strong funding applications. In this role, you will help Curans identify, shape, and write competitive grant applications for opportunities in medical education, digital health, assessment innovation, and fairness in clinical training.

What you will do ✅

You will:

• Identify grant opportunities relevant to Curans in medical education, assessment, simulation, and digital health
• Help write letters of intent, concept notes, and full grant applications
• Translate Curans’ mission, product, and evidence into clear and persuasive grant language
• Support applications focused on fairness in clinical assessment, learner feedback, competency-based education, and educational innovation
• Work with the founder and team to collect the information needed for proposals, including problem statements, project aims, methodology, timelines, partnerships, and budgets
• Help shape project ideas so they align with funder priorities
• Review grant guidelines and make sure submissions meet all requirements
• Help prepare supporting materials such as summaries, workplans, evaluation plans, and institutional collaboration language
• Strengthen applications by making them more structured, clearer, and more convincing
• Suggest improvements that make our proposals stronger, more realistic, and more fundable
•  

Who fits this role ��

You are:

• A strong writer with experience in grant writing, academic writing, proposal development, or research support
• Interested in medical education, health innovation, digital health, or education equity
• Comfortable turning big ideas into clear, well-structured applications
• Detail oriented and good at following application requirements carefully
• Able to understand both the educational and strategic side of a project
• Comfortable working with founders, educators, and clinicians

It is a big plus if you have experience in:

• Medical education
• Public health
• Health professions education
• Research methods
• Evaluation planning
• Nonprofit or startup fundraising
• Writing grants for universities, foundations, or health programs ⭐

Why this role matters ❤️

This role will help Curans move from a strong product vision to funded implementation. Your writing can help unlock partnerships, research, and educational projects that improve how medical students are assessed and supported.
This is not just grant writing. This is helping build fairer, safer, and more meaningful ways for future doctors and health professionals to learn. ��

What you will gain ��

• Work on a meaningful medical education project
• Help shape real grant applications with real institutional potential
• Gain experience at the intersection of AI, medical education, and funding strategy
• Work closely with a founder-led team
• Build experience in educational innovation and health-focused partnerships
• Contribute ideas that may directly shape future funded programs
