_________________________________________________________________________________
The Nuffield Foundation, an independent charitable trust dedicated to advancing educational opportunity and social well-being, is seeking a visionary and collaborative leader to join us as our Chief Executive.
At the Nuffield Foundation, we aim to offer expert, independent, and trusted research on critical issues such as education, the economy, justice, welfare, and the ethics of AI. Our unique position as an organisation with a broad social remit and financial independence allows us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who lack opportunities or support.
As Chief Executive, you will play a pivotal role in delivering on our purpose. You will lead and direct our talented in-house team while serving as a vital link to our exceptional trustees, who are committed to achieving greater social justice through their expertise. We seek a thoughtful and collaborative leader who can navigate complex problems, driven by a core social purpose.
While the Nuffield Foundation collaborates with research councils, charities, governments, and practitioners, we are not limited to a single-issue approach. We value someone who can work with diverse stakeholders, appreciates the value of research in tackling social problems, and can guide our team alongside our engaged trustee board.
We welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds. Academic experience is not a prerequisite, but intellectual rigour, integrity, and exceptional capabilities are essential. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a passion for guiding our work towards a broad social impact, engaging stakeholders from academia, policymakers, government, and business. Above all, they should have an unwavering commitment to serving the beneficiaries for whom the Foundation was established.
This role offers an opportunity to lead an organisation dedicated to making a positive difference, working alongside dedicated experts and professionals. The Nuffield Foundation is embarking on a new chapter in its proud history, and we seek a Chief Executive who can provide thoughtful leadership with a shared sense of purpose. If you are inspired by this endeavour and believe you possess the commitment and experience we need, we encourage you to apply.
The Nuffield Foundation has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on this appointment. For further information about the position and additional details on qualifications, requirements, terms and conditions of service and how to apply, please visit: www.rraresponses.com.
The closing date for applications is 23:59 on Sunday 31st March 2024.
