About us
The College of Radiographers (CoR) is a UK registered charity and subsidiary of the Society of Radiographers, the trade union and professional body for the radiographic workforce and associated professionals in the UK. The CoR supports the promotion and development of medical imaging and radiotherapy, the promotion of study and research into radiography, and the promotion of public awareness of the profession.

The Society and College of Radiographers are two separate companies operating together to provide service and support for those involved in radiography, including as patients, service users and the public.

About you
We are seeking a committed individual with lived experience in radiography or radiotherapy as a patient or caregiver to join the Board of the College of Radiographers as a Patient Trustee.

As a Trustee, you will be responsible for providing oversight, guidance and decision-making in the governance and strategic direction of the organisation, ensuring it operates in the best interests of its mission and stakeholders. The lived experience which you gained utilising radiography as a patient or caregiver will enable you to advocate for the needs and concerns of patients, providing valuable input to our decision-making process.

It is essential that as a Trustee you bring an understanding of good governance. We would welcome applications from individuals who have experience as a Trustee or Non-Executive; or who bring transferable skills from senior leadership positions.
