Clifton Scientific Trust seeks a new Director

The Trustees of Clifton Scientific Trust are seeking to appoint a Director of Clifton Scientific Trust Ltd (CST) registered charity 1086933.

Clifton Scientific Trust works to develop and implement innovative programmes that engage school students of all ages and backgrounds in new ways with working scientists, engineers and medics, locally, nationally and internationally.

There are two established and successful strands to CST current activities; the UK-Japan Young Scientist Workshop Programme with post-16 students in both countries and the much smaller Meet-a-Medic programme with Primary school students and medical students.

With advice and guidance from the CST team of advisors and volunteers, the appointee will be responsible to the Trustees for the implementation of the Trust’s programmes and the day to day running of the Trust.

The ideal candidate will have imagination, creativity, leadership and teamworking skills, experience in fundraising and building partnership networks.  He/she would be expected to have some knowledge of schools at primary and secondary level, a broad understanding of science/engineering and some knowledge of Japan.

As hitherto, the work is unpaid but all expenses are covered and, when funds allow, a moderate remuneration will be arranged.

This will be an exciting opportunity for the right person to build on CST’s current achievement, promoting the school students’ experience of real-life science and engineering which opens minds to new opportunities and fosters new friendships. The international context for teamworking with scientists is unique.
