Established in 2010, the RCN Foundation is a charity and grant-maker that is committed to supporting nursing and midwifery to improve the health and wellbeing of the public. We support the UK’s nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers by:
- Providing advice and funding to members of the nursing and midwifery communities who face hardship
- Investing in the future of nursing and midwifery through a programme of funding education and career development opportunities
- Supporting strategic nursing and midwifery-led projects that demonstrate innovation, and improve patient care and outcomes
We are seeking a Trustee with a background in nursing or midwifery to join our Board from 1 June 2027. Four of our Trustees must be RCN members, thus, for this particular vacancy, you must be an RCN member. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates from ethnically diverse backgrounds, as these groups are currently under-represented on our Board.
