As a membership organisation, SfE has an impressive history of over 70 years supporting scientists, clinicians, nurses and associated healthcare professionals who work with hormones throughout their careers. They also engage policymakers, journalists, patients and the public with hormone science to encourage informed health decisions, and to demonstrate the value of endocrinology to the wider world.

Their story started with the launch of the Journal of Endocrinology and subsequently established Bioscientifica Ltd in 1996 as its trading subsidiary.

Candidates should bring demonstrable national-level expertise in charity governance and/or academic publishing (science, medicine etc.,) with the ability to spearhead and inspire confidence at all levels, both internally and externally. They will be fully accountable to the Council and the Bioscientifica Ltd board for all Group operations and ensure commercial and business development approaches are stretching, innovative and reflect longer-term Group objectives.
