  I think Macmillan is innovative and inspire people and they are always look at what you can bring.

  I have worked in cancer services with NHS for 8 years. I’ve worked with people with cancer and I wanted to work in a different field but still be able to provide service to people living with cancer. I wanted to apply my skills that I learnt with NHS and be able to spend quality time with people and help them release their fears and help them relax.

  Out of all the jobs I’ve done, working at Macmillan feels the least like a job. I get excited to see my team, I’m inspired to speak to all our supporters. Every day, I am fortunate enough to get to speak to inspiring people who have done so much and been through so much.

  I think I always knew I wanted to work in the third sector but it was a roundabout way to get here.

  I worked in Tech before, had enough of that and decided to pursue my dream. I quit my job and this role at Macmillan came up and it felt like fate.

About the role

The Richmond Group of Charities is a coalition of major health and care charities working together to improve the lives of people living with long-term conditions. We bring evidence, expertise and lived experience to the heart of policy and practice – and we’re looking for an exceptional leader to help us do even more.

If you’re an influential leader with a passion for improving health and care – and the drive to turn ideas into meaningful action – we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Drive delivery of key Richmond Group influencing programmes and workstreams from concept to impact.
• Act as deputy to the CEO, representing the Richmond Group externally, speaking at major events, and building a strong, credible and influential national profile.
• Shape strategic leadership discussions by preparing high-quality papers, presentations and briefings for the CEO, Chair and Vice-Chair.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Parliament, government, health and care systems, and partner organisations.
• Lead the Group’s policy and thought leadership portfolio, commissioning and developing compelling research, policy reports, roundtables and events.
• Support, coordinate and inspire our member networks and working groups, chairing meetings, strengthening collaboration and ensuring a shared focus on impact.
• Oversee projects and budgets, managing consultants and suppliers to ensure timely, high-quality delivery.
• Provide empowering line management, supporting professional development and maintaining a high-performance culture within the Secretariat team.

About you

• Proven leadership and people management experience, with the confidence to inspire, develop and empower others.
• A strong track record of influencing senior stakeholders, including policymakers, parliamentarians and system leaders.
• Expertise in developing evidence-based policy, and experience driving change through partnership and collaboration.
• Outstanding written, verbal and public speaking skills, with the ability to create compelling narratives for varied audiences.
• Experience shaping strategies, business plans and shared work programmes.
• Strong understanding of the UK social policy landscape, ideally within health and care.
• Experience of commissioning or conducting research and designing and facilitating workshops and high-level discussions.
• Project leadership experience, including budget management and working with suppliers and matrix teams.
• Commitment to co-production and lived experience, ensuring that service users’ voices guide our influencing work.
