Welcome

Dear Candidate

Thank you for your interest in NICE and in this important role. Through this website you will be able to access further details about the Institute, as well as information about the role of Chief of Staff, and the arrangements for the recruitment process.

As an organisation that exists to help improve health and wellbeing by putting science and evidence at the heart of health and care decision making, we have an important remit and we have clear objectives. We have a world-renowned reputation for delivering guidance and information which is evidence based and which stand up to public, industry and media scrutiny. However, with a growing focus on the use of datasets and analytics in support of our research and evidence base, we have identified the need for a cross-cutting senior management role to ensure that we use the best available evidence in the guidance we provide.  This role offers the opportunity to lead the development of NICE’s use of real world data, building it into our routine assessment of evidence, and to continue developing our science, policy, research, and evidence service functions. This role will provide a significant contribution to the efficiency of NICE and to the transformation we are currently undergoing. 

If, having read further details in this website, you believe your career aspirations and your experience fit what we are seeking, or if you want to find out more before deciding this, please call Gillian Young, Robin Staveley or Melanie West of GatenbySanderson for a confidential conversation on 01908 230265.  I and the other members of the senior management team also look forward to speaking to you during this recruitment process.

Gillian Leng
Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Health and Social Care
