With a focus on education, research, and professional development, the IBMS supports its 21,000 members in 74 countries in their pursuit of scientific excellence and in enhancing the quality of healthcare worldwide.
The IBMS plays a crucial role in ensuring that biomedical scientists are equipped with the expertise needed to contribute effectively to healthcare and medical research. It sets the standards for education, training, and practice in areas such as clinical pathology, microbiology, genetics, immunology, and molecular biology, offering accredited qualifications and continuous professional development opportunities for its members.
As advocates for the biomedical science community, the IBMS also works to raise awareness of the profession’s importance in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating diseases. As a voice for biomedical scientists, the IBMS represents the profession in discussions with government bodies, healthcare organisations, and regulatory agencies, ensuring that the value of their work is recognised and that the profession evolves in response to healthcare needs.
Following an exciting period of growth, the IBMS is now looking to recruit its first Head of People Services to take responsibility for the delivery of all aspects of the HR function and to support their team and office management.
As the new Head of People Services, reporting to the Chief Executive, you will be joining a small, busy and diverse team and friendly and collaborative working environment. You will ideally offer previous experience of delivering strategic and operational HR management in a similar stand-alone capacity and be looking for a proactive, self-reliant and hands-on role to build on your already successful track record in the HR function.
The vision for the new Head of People Services is for a bold People leader with previous experience in an organisation of similar complexity to the Institute and with the skills, knowledge and expertise to take ownership of all operational HR and office activities, as well as lead the approach to the ongoing advancement and shaping of IBMS’s People practices and organisational culture.
If you believe that you are the person to spearhead People Services for IBMS, are looking for the satisfaction of a challenging, interesting and valued role and are interested in joining the dedicated IBMS team, then we would love to hear from you.
