Road Safety GB is seeking to appoint a new director of research, a role which provides an exciting opportunity to work on a wide range of topics central to furthering the national road safety agenda.
The voluntary position includes the postholder being a trustee of Road Safety GB and sitting on the organisation’s Charity Board.
The successful applicant will replace Matt Staton, who is stepping down having been in post since 2020.
Although there are some well-established and ongoing commitments – for example the road safety analysts’ development programme – there are significant opportunities to shape the agenda for the role going forward.
James Gibson, Road Safety GB executive director, said: “Research, analytics and intelligence gathering have to find their way into day-to-day practice to have real value, and Road Safety GB has a key role to play in helping to ensure that project outcomes are accessible, relevant and geared to the needs of front-line road safety practitioners.
“By acting as project governance support, a stakeholder representative, critical friend or sector specialist, Road Safety GB can place road safety practice at the heart of this important area of road safety capacity building.”
Anyone wanting to know more about the role, should email James Gibson in the first instance.
