ILC is recruiting for a new Chair to lead our Board of Trustees to ensure that ILC is regarded as the UK’s leading authority on the impact of longevity on society.

We help governments, policymakers, businesses and employers develop and implement solutions to ensure we all live happier, healthier and more fulfilling longer lives.

We want a society where we all live happier, healthier and more fulfilling longer lives, where tomorrow is better than today and where future generations are better off. ILC wants to help forge a new vision for the 100-year life where we all have the opportunity to learn across our lives and where new technology helps us contribute more to society.

That doesn’t mean we’re just about protecting the interests of older people. It doesn’t mean we’re just about promoting their needs. And it doesn’t mean we’re just about prioritising their requirements.

The impact of longevity on society isn’t just about older people: it will impact everyone.

The ILC Chair will be a voice for ILC, promoting the work of the organisation. You may be asked to chair and speak at events as well as represent the organisation to the media or in meetings with politicians or funders.

The ideal candidate will:

• understand charity governance;
• have strong influencing skills and good political and policy connections (UK and ideally internationally);
• have good understanding of and connections with businesses, particularly those who are likely audiences and funders of ILC’s work;
• have an interest in ILC’s work, care about the issues and have a passion for making a difference.
