RCVS Trust seeks Veterinary Nurse Trustee

The RCVS Trust, which celebrates its Golden Jubilee this year, is a rapidly expanding educational and animal welfare charity. We are currently seeking to recruit a listed veterinary nurse to join the Board of Trustees. The charity provides two key services to all those working in veterinary care:

RCVS Trust educational grants programme

The Trust has been a grant-maker since its earliest days and since 2005 has invested over £2,500,000 in practice- and university-based grants across a wide range of species and disease areas.

RCVS Trust library

Our library is the largest specialist veterinary library in Europe. The services offered have developed significantly in recent years to include a growing range of electronic services such as an online catalogue, online customised searches and quarterly e-updates on new information for special-interest groups.

An ambitious programme of growth and development is in place and significant progress has been made across all activities, including the development and implementation of a new grant-making strategy (annual disbursement c£850K per year) and the development of new income streams (library membership, regular giving, challenge events).

We are now seeking a VN Trustee to help us move to the next phase of our growth.

Please contact the Director Gerri McHugh on 020 7202 0714 or [email protected] if you would like to receive an information pack.

Term of Office: Three years

Closing date: 6 June 2008.
