Job Description

We are seeking a new trustee to join our board. Our vision is for everyone served by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (RFL) to access world-leading healthcare, delivered by a thriving workforce and driven by impactful medical research.

The generosity of our donors, fundraisers, and volunteers enables us to achieve this.

We are looking for a trustee with strong financial expertise, strategic thinking skills, and the ability to balance risk and opportunity. Excellent communication skills, sound judgement, and a collaborative approach to probing and challenging both the executive and board colleagues are essential.

Closing date: Friday 2 May 2025, 12pm.
