United Kingdom The Memcom Group Full time

Salary £85-90K

18 month contract, with a view to permanency

17.5 hours per week

If you’re looking for the opportunity to be the first ever Chief Executive Officer of an exciting, important and growing medical membership organisation, then read on.

We are the Infection Prevention Society (IPS), dedicated to promoting and enhancing the science and practice of infection prevention and control (IPC) within all health and care settings – and our work has never been more relevant.

We will shortly launch our new strategy: Working together to prevent infection. To deliver this

strategy, the Board of Trustees took the decision to move from a volunteer-led, association management model to recruiting the Society’s first staff team.

As CEO you will play a vital role in recruiting and nurturing the team around you, and deliver and implement our strategy, ensuring commitment to our values and goals.

You’ll be responsible for the Society’s governance structure and organisational capacity, financial

sustainability and risk management, and ultimately all of IPS output, specifically with regards to our

membership, education and events activities.

You’ll position the IPS as a leading support network for IPC practitioners, creating an inclusive

environment for existing and prospective members and those who partner, engage and learn with us.

In addition, you’ll leverage your knowledge and skills to secure new, sustainable sources of funding

and ensure that the financial sustainability of the Society is at the heart of everything we do.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join an important organisation in the battle for public health and

infection prevention, and a chance to work in close partnership with the Board of Trustees to create

and execute new activities which will grow and sustain the Society for future IPC professionals and

have a positive impact on the prevention of infection.

With 2,400 members across the UK and internationally, we play an important role in supporting and

developing IPC professionals and advancing knowledge and best practices to safeguard public health, and the IPS is a supportive network for IPC practitioners, delivering education and training within the IPC field.

If you would like to know more, please contact our retained consultants at Memcom Executive, who will be happy to share a candidate pack and talk to you about the role in more detail. You can contact them on Simone@memcom.org.uk

Please note, the CEO role is part-time, 17.5 hours per week, and initially offered on an 18 month contract, with a view to permanency.

Application will be by CV and supporting statement. Again, please refer to the candidate pack for details.

Closing date for applications: COP, Friday 3rd May, with interviews and assessments likely to take place the week beginning 20th May.
