Who we are looking for
We are seeking an experienced Trustee or Company Director to join the Board of the College of Radiographers as a Trustee and Chair on a voluntary basis. This role is non-remunerated; out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
As Chair, you will lead the Board, forging effective working relationships with Trustees, CEO and Executive Team, presiding over purposeful meetings with a strategic focus.
Your role will be instrumental in ensuring sound governance within our organisation. Drawing on your leadership expertise and along with fellow trustees, you will play a key role in shaping our organisational strategy, providing scrutiny on all aspects of our work, including strategic planning, budgeting and financial reporting, risk and compliance.
Your previous experience as a Trustee and business leader within the charity sector or healthcare sector, will enable you to provide valuable insights and leadership to the Board and senior management. Your commitment to transparency, accountability, and the radiography profession will contribute to the College’s long-term sustainability and success.
Our preference would be for individuals who have experience of the charity sector, healthcare, or regulatory environments and a member of the Society of Radiographers, however we have a commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion so would also encourage applications if your experience were from a different sector. Previous experience as a Board Chair or Vice-Chair is welcomed.
