Who we’re looking for We are seeking a new Trustee with a background in veterinary or medical practice to support the Animal Free Research UK Board and team in achieving our charitable aims. We are looking for someone who, in addition to their own expertise, has an interest in human-specific research approaches. This is a unique opportunity to join the country's leading animal-free medical research charity, where you will play a key role in helping to advance science to improve treatments for humans without the use of animals. You should have a strong interest in the mission of Animal Free Research UK and be willing to advocate on the charity’s behalf. Previous experience of being a Trustee is not necessary as a full induction and ongoing support will be provided.
Equality, diversity and inclusion We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or stakeholder to feel included and that they belong at Animal Free Research UK. We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. We will support you to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best.
Board meetings and time commitment The Board ordinarily meets four times per year in March, May, August and November. Two of these meetings are held remotely via video call on a Saturday, and two are held in person in London across weekends. In addition, Trustees are encouraged to join a Committee relevant to their area of expertise which meets at least once per quarter via video call. An appropriate time commitment will be required over the course of the year for preparative work between meetings. Trustees are also invited to attend occasional charity events and join recruitment panels on an ad hoc basis. Following a probationary period where Trustee-elects attend at least 3 board meetings, appointed Trustees serve a three-year term, with the option to renew for a further three years. Trusteeship is an unremunerated position, though reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid.
If this opportunity to join a small but ambitious charity appeals to you, and you have enthusiasm and a commitment to our vision of a world where animal-free, human specific technologies secure breakthroughs for patients then we’d like to hear from you.
You may also have experience in the following roles: Board Member, Non-Executive Director, Charity Trustee, Medical Advisor, Veterinary Advisor, Clinical Director, Medical Trustee, Healthcare Trustee, Scientific Advisor, Research Trustee, etc.
