Trustee at The Dunhill Medical Trust

Board vacancy

We welcome applications for the position of Trustee from candidates with expertise in one of the following areas, consistent with the themes of our current plan. 

In addition to your Board responsibilities, you should also be prepared to serve as Vice-Chair of our Research Grants Committee. You should therefore be experienced in committee work, expert peer panel review and should be:

• a research active geriatrician or gerontologist or;
• an academic leader from a discipline relevant to understanding the mechanisms of ageing or treating age-related disease. Those with experience in mixed methods research and/or multi disciplinary projects would be particularly welcomed, as would those with a background in molecular biology.    

How to apply

It’s an exciting time to be joining us and we’re looking for people with the commitment, vision and expertise to support and work with our small but dedicated and highly experienced executive team and to make your contribution to writing the next chapter in our story. If you think that this could be you, go to our website to find out more about us. Then email your CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages via the ‘Apply‘ button above telling us how you meet the criteria set out in the person specification which can be downloaded here: https://dunhillmedical.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/23-06-Trustee_role-description.pdf 

The closing date is noon on 27 July, 2023

Applications are invited from across the UK. Board and committee meetings are held quarterly (the time commitment for each is around 6 days per year). While our office base is in central London, we always conduct meetings in hybrid format. Although the role is unpaid, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

The work we fund means that we know all too well the negative impacts of inequity. We are therefore committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in all areas of our work. 

We recognise the inherent benefits of having a diverse board and workforce and the negative impact of discrimination on individuals and the communities that we serve. We work hard to promote a culture of respect and dignity and work within the practice – and the spirit – of the Equality Act 2010. We do our very best to proactively combat behaviours and barriers that can lead to discrimination. If you wish to make your application in a different format to the one stated, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
