Senior and public appointments

We recruit for both senior and public appointments. These include members of the UKRI Board, Executive Chairs, part-time office holders and all other senior roles across UKRI at Band X and Y (equivalent to Senior Civil Service).

We employ a strong focus on equality, diversity and inclusion, ensuring recruitment that is diverse, fair and open, creating equal opportunity at all times. Please note, public appointments are ultimately made by the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.


Although we currently have no live vacancies, you can still contact our Senior and Public Appointments team by emailing seniorrecruitment@ukri.org to register your interest for future opportunities.
