Thank you for your interest in the role of Chair of Trustees for the Nuffield Foundation. As our current Chair – Sir Keith Burnett – approaches the end of his tenure, we are now seeking a successor ideally to join our Trustee board in early 2027 and take over the role of Chair formally in September, when Sir Keith Burnett steps down.
This is a unique opportunity to lead our board of diverse and talented Trustees to capitalise on their individual and collective strengths, and steer the Nuffield Foundation through its next phase of work.
With an ambitious new strategy, this is a key time to join our organisation at a point when our work feels especially pertinent.
Against a backdrop of political and economic disruption at home and globally, with deepening fractures appearing in society, the use of evidence to promote innovation to deliver lasting societal benefits including through improving practice, has never been more crucial.
We are looking for a talented Chairperson to work with us to ensure that we can maximise our relevance and overall impact, ultimately to improve the lives and life chances of those we serve.
John Pullinger,
Deputy Chair
