Overview Despite advances in healthcare and medicine, large numbers of people in the UK still spend many years of their later life in poor health because of common diseases and health conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and stroke. Our Future Health helps health researchers to tackle this growing burden of disease. With our data, they can develop new ways to detect diseases at an earlier stage, and even prevent them from occurring in the first place. About Our Future Health We’re the world’s biggest health research programme of its kind and our volunteer group is diverse. We’re building a community of volunteers to create a detailed picture of the nation’s health. Thanks to phenomenal public support, registered health researchers are studying an intricate picture of the UK’s health. We currently have around 50 approved studies that are actively analysing our data, including studies on cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and kidney disease. Role This is a unique opportunity to join Our Future Health as Chief Health Officer (CHO) at a pivotal moment in our development. The CHO will serve as the organisation’s senior health leader, holding executive responsibility for participant recruitment, engagement and retention; clinical and laboratory operations; and the quality and safety of all participant‑facing activities. Reporting and Leadership Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the Executive Team and Board, the CHO will shape and deliver the organisation’s health strategy. The role will oversee participant operations, community engagement and recruitment, clinical and laboratory partnerships, and the development of digital health services that support participants throughout their journey with the programme. External Engagement The CHO will also play a central role in external engagement to maximise the public health impact of the programme. As a senior ambassador, the postholder will contribute to national conversations on population health, research and prevention, and help ensure that the programme delivers meaningful benefits for participants and society.
