About us

The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) is the overarching alliance for
the global eye health sector dedicated to eliminating the global vision crisis. A global network
spread across 100+ countries, of the most brilliant and committed non-profits, philanthropists,
public and private organisations.

There are 1.1 billion people living with sight loss because they don't have access to eye care
services. We are making the case loudly and repeatedly that access to eye health services are
vital to everything, for everyone.

IAPB, on behalf of its network, holds trusted relationships with the United Nations and the World
Health Organization. No one else is operating under this same model with the same reach. We
are a growing and successful international organisation registered as a charity in the UK with a
dedicated staff team located around the world.

We are seeking someone to be a part of our journey and help us achieve our goals. We are a
small charity with a supportive can-do attitude. We are informal but professional and work
flexibly. This role offers a real opportunity for someone to contribute our development and
progress towards our goals.

Overview:

The Policy and Advocacy Manager will play a central role in advancing IAPB’s engagement at the
United Nations during a critical period for global eye health, including the lead-up to and legacy
of the Global Summit for Eye Health in 2026. The role will support high-level political
engagement, coordination with Member States and UN institutions, and the translation of global
commitments into sustained policy momentum beyond 2026.

Scope and Accountability

Work closely with the Head of Global Advocacy and Policy to deliver IAPB’s programme of work
at the United Nations and related institutions. This will include:

•  Coordinating the UN Friends of Vision Member State group and secretariat, acting as a

liaison for Member States and UN Institutions on policy and advocacy initiatives.
•  Drafting letters, speeches, policy briefs and briefing materials for United Nations

processes and high-level engagements.

•  Managing the organisation of advocacy events and strategic engagements at the UN,
including high-level briefings, side events, and visibility moments; liaising with senior
speakers and government representatives; coordinating promotion; and working closely
with communications and events teams.

•  Attending global health and development forums and meetings to gather information to

support our policy goals and to represent IAPB and the eye health sector.
•  Monitoring and analysing relevant activities across the UN system and related

institutions, including UN reform processes and post-2030 agenda discussions, to
identify policy and advocacy opportunities that advance vision and eye health as a
development enabler.

•  Supporting the development of advocacy capacity across the eye health sector, including
liaising with IAPB members and partners, coordinating shared activities, and producing
tools and guidance that support national implementation of global commitments
emerging from UN processes and the Global Summit for Eye Health.

•  Working closely with IAPB’s Communications, Knowledge and Regional teams, to raise

Thank  you  for  your  interest  in  the  position  of  Conference  &  Bookings  Administrator  at  Ripon  College

A Profile of Ripon College Cuddesdon

Founded in 1854 by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, Ripon College Cuddesdon is one of the Church of England’s
principal  institutions  for ministerial  formation.  Nestled in  the  Oxfordshire  countryside  just  outside  the  city of
Oxford,  the  College  is  home  to  a  diverse,  inclusive,  and  worship-centred  community  that  brings  together
theological learning, spiritual formation, and residential life.

The  College  trains  both  full-time  and  part-time  ordinands  from  across  the  Church  of  England  and  beyond,
alongside independent students and those pursuing postgraduate study. It also plays a wider role in the Church’s
educational  and  missional  life,  offering  programmes  in  contextual  theology  and  lay  ministry,  as  well  as
contributing to public theological engagement.

Our campus is shared with a number of institutions and pathways, and the site is in regular use for conferences,
retreats, and events throughout the year. Our hospitality work is an important part of the College’s identity and
sustainability, offering a space of welcome and reflection for a broad range of groups and guests.

Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition (MED249R)

The Institute of Education in Healthcare and Medical Sciences, located within the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition, University of Aberdeen, is one of the UK’s leading centres for medical, medical sciences and dental education. The Institute launched the Centre of Healthcare Education Research and Innovation (CHERI) in May 2017. Led by Dr Anita Laidlaw, CHERI’s vision is to achieve a global reputation for academic excellence in healthcare education research, by supporting high-quality, important research focusing on relevant issues, and developing tomorrow’s researchers.

Job Description

CHERI is host to the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN) which was founded here at University of Aberdeen by Prof Colin Lumsden and Dr Katie Gibson Smith. Widening access, and participation (WA/WP), to medicine aims to promote participation in medicine amongst groups who are typically underrepresented. The Scottish Government have made significant investment, and set ambitious targets, in relation to WA/WP to medicine. It is critical however, if targets are to be met in relation to WA/WP to medicine, that research is developed strategically, and outputs shared quickly and timeously to explore how these students can be best supported to pursue their ambitions.

Accordingly, we have established the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN), comprising a community of relevant partners (medical schools, along with NHS Education Scotland, third sector and Medical Schools Council) to support research and evaluation within Scotland.

The overall purpose of this role is to support the research activity of the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN). Dr Katie Gibson Smith will supervise the research activity which will initially involve a Scottish wide project to identify research gaps in this area. Subsequent research projects will be driven from this initial activity however, it is anticipated that these will be both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and therefore we will be seeking a researcher with experience of using both these methodologies.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale, £38,784 - £46,049 per annum and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Katie Gibson Smith, Senior Lecturer (Kathrine.gibson.smith@abdn.ac.uk).

Prior to employment, the successful candidate must be able to demonstrate their right to work in the UK. This role may be eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route under the UKVI immigration rules but is dependent on factors specific to the candidate and if tradeable points can be used under the rules.

Information on other visa options is available at https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa.
