About Us
BAUS is a registered charity and a professional membership association dedicated to ensuring the highest standards in the practice of urology for the benefit of patients. From humble origins in 1945, BAUS has grown constantly stronger and more unified and now represents over 2,500 members delivering the entire spectrum of urological care within the British Isle and beyond. Over 80% of Consultant Urological Surgeons in the British Isles are members of BAUS which is the leading professional association within UK urology.
Urology is one of the most varied branches of surgery. It encompasses diseases of the kidneys, bladder and prostate, including incontinence, impotence, infertility, cancer and reconstruction of the genito-urinary tract. It caters to patients of both sexes and all ages, from children to elderly pensioners.
BAUS’s motto is ‘united strength is stronger,’ and the Association’s strength continues to derive from the commitment and support of its members, who make BAUS their professional home.
About the role
Our longstanding CEO, Anne Bishop, is leaving BAUS after a highly successful 18 years, which has seen BAUS grow and develop, going from strength to strength, and we are now seeking a new CEO to guide the organisation into its next chapter. With a proud history of advancing urological care and supporting our members, BAUS is poised for growth and innovation.
We are looking for an individual with passion, energy and the ability to collaborate to springboard BAUS upwards and onwards for the next phase of its evolution. This is an immensely rewarding role which would perfectly suit a person of vision, positivity and proven delivery.
You will be working with a skilled and talented team, consisting of 10 dedicated staff members, many of whom have been part of BAUS success for a number of years.
We are looking for
- Experience in managing the leadership function in a similar sized organisation or in a senior leadership role in a larger organisation (experience in the not for profit sector, health sector or of managing a membership organisation is ideal)
- Experience in developing and delivering strategic plans to drive both internal and external operational engagement
- Experience in leading organisational, functional and budgetary initiatives, ideally in healthcare, charity or membership organisations
- A strong understanding of governance, with experience working alongside a Board
- Excellent communication and relationship building skills.
This is an opportunity to lead a longstanding and respected charity at an exciting time in its journey.
