About You

This role is advertised on behalf of the Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) and Association of Chief Executives (ACE).  Please apply to [email protected].

 

This is a hugely exciting time for the Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) and Association of Chief Executives (ACE) as we seek to assign someone to take up this national role and lead the Secretariat for the next two years.

The Secretary leads the Secretariat in driving membership and diversifying income sources for our two unique networks of public body leaders and ensuring members receive an outstanding membership experience. The Secretary will help us to celebrate our member’s achievements as part of our 20th anniversary in 2026/27.

If you are interested in building your skills and networks, and are motivated to influence change across public bodies, the role of Secretary could provide the perfect leadership development opportunity for you.

Supported by our ambitious and highly-respected boards, we’re growing our membership networks and partnership opportunities as we expand our offering and reach with our new annual programmes bringing insight, support and inspiration for executives and non-executives of UK public bodies.

You will work with some of the most prominent figures in UK public and civil service. You will bring experience of developing and shaping engagement with leadership, with the energy to continue to nurture and grow this organisation, bringing its diverse membership with you.

About The Role

It’s likely that you’ll be familiar with public bodies, but that’s not what’s really important. If you’re experienced at shaping events and developing leadership programmes, perhaps you’re also creative, tenacious and entrepreneurial, then we’d love to hear from you.

If you’d like to apply for this post, please send your CV and a covering letter to the Secretary, [email protected] by 5pm, Wednesday 18 June 2025, describing in under 500 words how you meet each of the criteria listed in the job and person specification.

If you’re shortlisted, we will contact you via email to arrange a time for an interview. We expect to hold interviews Monday 30 June 2025.

PLEASE NOTE: This position is employed by the Mining Remediation Authority and will be seconded to ACE/PCF.

Here at the Mining Remediation Authority, we really are a great team to work with. We’re united in our passion and commitment to make a better future for people and the environment in mining areas.

We carry out a wide variety of essential services from responding to coal mining hazards, to keeping everyone and everything safe from mine water pollution.
