Jackie has worked for CITB since July 2021.

She said: “Supporting the NHS has always been one of my personal ambitions. This was an unmissable opportunity for me although I leave CITB with a heavy heart. CITB is a remarkable organisation, with a strong social purpose delivered by talented colleagues who care passionately about the difference they all make.

“Under chief executive Tim Balcon’s leadership, the culture is transforming and CITB is set to go on to even greater things. I have been incredibly proud of the progress we have made together and the value we have delivered for customers through our purpose to support industry.”

CITB chief executive Tim Balcon added: “Jackie will be staying with us while we develop plans to ensure a smooth business transition – we will be looking to recruit immediately. We will continue at pace to work together to put customers at the heart of our decision-making and to deliver our purpose to support industry to have the skilled, competent, and inclusive workforce it needs now and in the future.”
