Chief Executive Officer, Society and College of Radiographers
Hybrid (Bermondsey, London) | Permanent, full-time (35 hours)
Radiography is at the heart of modern healthcare: from life-saving cancer treatment to faster diagnosis, safer pathways and better patient experience. The Society and College of Radiographers (SoR | CoR) exists to champion that workforce and profession, representing and supporting around 34,000 members across clinical imaging and radiotherapy.
Following the long and successful tenure of our Chief Executive, we are now appointing a new CEO to lead SoR | CoR into its next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to take on a high-profile leadership role in a membership-led organisation with a vital national voice for a crucial workforce.
Demand for imaging and radiotherapy continues to rise, workforce pressures remain intense, and rapid technological change, including AI, is reshaping how services are delivered. We need a CEO who can provide calm, credible leadership through that complexity, while ensuring radiographers and the wider workforce are heard, valued and supported.
As CEO you will lead across both the Society (professional body and trade union) and the College (registered charity). Working closely with the Presidential Team, UK Council and the College Board of Trustees, you will ensure strong governance, financial sustainability and a well-run organisation internally while also building influence and impact externally.
We are looking for a senior leader with:
A senior leader from the healthcare, health education or health technology setting
Credibility with frontline practice and senior stakeholders
Strong strategic leadership experience (director level or above)
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships internally and externally
Confidence working with boards and governance structures
- Commitment to supporting the trade union movement
If you want to lead a respected, influential organisation with real purpose and shape the future of the profession and patient care, we will warmly welcome a further conversation.
