Hello leadership engagement specialists! Are you highly capable, experienced and instinctively entrepreneurial in your professional outlook?  

We’re seeking for someone to take a new, important leadership role, to continue to drive membership and diversify income sources of two increasingly popular membership organisations.  

This is a hugely exciting time for the Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) and Association of Chief Executives (ACE).  

Supported by our ambitious boards, we’re growing our membership networks and partnership opportunities as we expand our offering and reach with our new annual programmes bringing insight, support and inspiration for executives and non-executives of UK public bodies. 

As the Secretary, you will be leading a small Secretariat team to ensure we are retaining our current members and continuing to grow our membership offering and networks.  

In this national role, you will be working with some of the most prominent figures in UK public and civil service. You will bring experience of developing and shaping engagement with leadership, with the energy to continue to nurture and grow this organisation, bringing its diverse membership with you.  

It’s likely that you’ll be familiar with public bodies, but that’s not what’s really important. If you’re experienced at shaping events and developing leadership programmes, perhaps you’re also creative, tenacious and entrepreneurial, then we’d love to hear from you.  

We have extended the deadline to apply for this position. If you’d like to apply for this post, please send your CV and a covering letter to  Louisa Dale at louisa.dale@publicchairsforum.org.uk here by midday, Wednesday 12 April 2023, describing in under 500 words how you meet each of the criteria listed in the job and person specification.  

If you’re shortlisted, we will contact you via email to arrange a time for an interview. We expect to hold interviews mid- April 2023.
