The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) exists to change the trajectory of one of the UK's most urgent and underestimated public health challenges. As the only national charity dedicated solely to osteoporosis and bone health, it operates at the intersection of science, policy and public life, working across all four nations to prevent fractures, improve diagnosis and support people to live well with the condition. In recent years, the organisation has transformed its profile and reach. Income has grown to £6.5m, public engagement has accelerated through national media partnerships and digital services, and the ROS has secured significant policy commitments on early diagnosis and fracture prevention. Demand for its leadership has never been greater. Against this backdrop, the ROS is seeking a Chief Executive to lead the organisation into its next chapter. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the CEO will provide clear strategic direction while acting as the charity's most visible and persuasive advocate. This is not a role defined by internal stewardship alone. The CEO will work at the highest levels of government and the NHS to ensure osteoporosis is no longer overlooked, converting political intent into tangible change on the ground. Alongside developing and delivering a new strategy, they will grow the organisation's influence, deepen public engagement and unlock the income and partnerships required to match ambition with scale. They will bring coherence, pace and judgement to an organisation already moving decisively forward. The successful candidate will be an experienced senior leader with a strong record of organisational growth and delivery in complex environments. Comfortable working with Boards, they will combine strategic clarity with political awareness and sound judgement. They will be a confident communicator, able to command credibility with clinicians while making complex evidence resonate with the public and policymakers alike. Their leadership style will be inclusive, purposeful and values-led, building high-performing teams and sustaining a culture of integrity, focus and collaboration. Intellectually curious and outward-looking, they will recognise the potential of digital tools and emerging technologies to extend reach and impact, while safeguarding trust.

Communications and Engagement Manager Salary around £50k depending on experience and skills Closing date: 3 June 2026 at 5pm Job purpose: The Legal Services Board (LSB) is looking for an energetic, experienced communications professional to help us reach and engage more people than before. You'll provide communications expertise on various projects and support the planning and delivery of campaigns that enable us to drive change and influence others. As someone who isn't afraid to try something new, you'll encourage colleagues to think outside the box and take our engagement activities to new heights. The LSB welcomes applications from candidates seeking to work flexibly. About the LSB The LSB is an oversight regulator. Our jurisdiction covers England and Wales, and we are independent of both the legal profession and government. Our vision is for legal services that everyone can access and trust. In pursuit of this vision, we monitor the performance of the nine approved legal regulators (including the regulators for solicitors and barristers) to ensure that they meet our expected standards, and we ask them to take steps to change when they don't meet these standards. We assess applications for changes to a regulator's rules to ensure that any new rules align with the regulatory objectives set out in the Legal Services Act, such as protecting consumers. We ensure that our work is well-informed by doing regular research to determine what legal consumers need and how the market responds. Our position as an oversight regulator gives us a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the legal sector in England and Wales. We, therefore, also act as agents of change, highlighting issues and pushing for improvements to promote the public interest. It is an exciting time to join the Legal Services Board as we collaborate with the legal services sector to deliver our strategy. The strategy's golden thread is the need to reshape legal services to better meet society's needs.

Evaluate communications activities and report on outputs and outcomes. Lead the management and development of the LSB's social media channels, including sourcing, generating and posting engaging content that supports our communications and engagement strategy. Ensure the LSB's website is up-to-date, accessible and an effective tool for communication with stakeholders and the wider public.

Play an active role in the wider activities of the Communications and Engagement team and the Enabling Services Team. Media and stakeholder relations Identify opportunities for the LSB to tell its story in the press and media, demonstrate its impact, and galvanise stakeholder support and understanding of our role. Support the Head of Communications and Engagement in building relationships with key stakeholders, including the Media, MPs, civil servants, approved regulators, consumer and citizen groups, lawyer groups, NGOs and think tanks, and monitoring their perceptions of the LSB. Represent the LSB at external meetings and contribute to industry-related working groups. Draft reports, invitations, briefings and correspondence as required. Support Board members and colleagues in their dealings with external stakeholders.

For over 30 years, Global Witness has played a distinctive role in the environmental and human rights movement. Founded in 1993, we are an investigative, campaigning organisation that aims to secure better protections for people and the planet. Our work has consistently focused on shifting power: from uncovering the secretive deals and violence underpinning the blood diamond trade, to exposing global systems of corruption, and amplifying first-hand testimony from communities facing harm. We speak truth to power, standing up to corporations and governments who enable climate breakdown. This work is becoming ever more challenging as authoritarianism spreads, and wealth and influence are increasingly concentrated in the hands of those who seek to profit from planetary destruction. Yet it is precisely these challenges that make our mission more urgent than ever. We are currently seeking a Chief Executive Officer who will lead Global Witness at a time when its work is highly visible, increasingly complex and needed more than ever. Reporting to the Board, the CEO will set the strategic direction and lead a cohesive senior leadership team to deliver Global Witness's mission with clarity, courage and rigour. The role combines strategic leadership with public influence, organisational stewardship and deep commitment to equity, integrity and impact. You will also represent Global Witness externally, maintaining its influence with funders, policymakers and partners, and ensuring its work continues to shape debate and decision-making at the highest levels. We are seeking a bold and courageous leader who is able to take risks where necessary, but who also has the judgement and experience to operate effectively in politically sensitive and fast-moving environments. You will bring senior leadership experience within, or aligned to, investigative, campaigning, advocacy or related fields gained in an international context with a clear track record of setting direction and delivering results. You will combine a strong understanding of the global political, economic, human rights and environmental landscape with the ability to anticipate and respond to emerging developments. You will be credible at senior levels, with the judgement and presence to engage a wide range of stakeholders, alongside a demonstrable track record in supporting fundraising and working with major funders. Your approach will be collaborative but decisive and you will display an inclusive leadership style with a clear commitment to equity and inclusion. Above all, you will be committed to the purpose of Global Witness, bringing integrity, sound judgement and the ability to take responsibility in a demanding and visible role. To apply, please submit a CV and covering letter, detailing how you fulfil the role description and personal specification to Perrett Laver Vacancies .
