A list of current vacancies at the BHA is shown below. Please note new jobs will be added periodically, so please continue checking this page to view latest jobs.

Chief Medical Adviser

With the impending retirement of the current Chief Medical Adviser (CMA), the BHA has taken the opportunity to re-assess the CMA role itself and redefine the delivery of both clinical and regulatory services. The new structure and approach will ensure the highest standards of care and address future demand and challenges. As a result, we are now looking for two CMAs on a three-day per week basis, operating as a job share, each working 21 core hours (9am to 5pm) and providing out of hours cover on a rota basis. The new structure will ensure the delivery of excellent clinical care, built in resilience and a more flexible role for the new CMAs, which will allow them to continue with a mixed portfolio of healthcare work.

Independent Non-Executive Director

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is the governing and regulatory body for horseracing in Great Britain. Under the chairmanship of Lord Charles Allen, the BHA has set a renewed and ambitious goal to lead its stakeholders and transform British racing into a “modern commercial and cultural powerhouse”. To this end, the BHA is transforming its governance arrangements, including building a fully independent board, to support the BHA’s new role in co-ordinating a commercial industry growth strategy, and utilising world-class business and digital skills to actively grow racing as a sport and as an industry. In this process, the BHA will appoint multiple Independent Non-Executive Directors. They will oversee the organisation, supporting its growth and transformation.
