London, UK, United Kingdom MEDICINEMA Full time

Founded in 1999, MediCinema is a national UK charity dedicated to improving the well-being and quality of life for NHS patients, their families, and carers. We achieve this by creating a transformative experience. We build state-of-the-art cinemas directly within hospitals, and deliver a patient focused programme, offering free film screenings and film-related bedside activities for patients of all ages. Studies consistently show the positive impact of MediCinema's work: with improvements in emotional, physical health and wellbeing, matched with reduced feelings of isolation, pain, anxiety, and stress.

This is an exciting time of accelerated growth for MediCinema. We are in the process of a strategic expansion, delivering on the ambition to reach more beneficiaries by growing our network of in-hospital services. As part of this we are also developing new partnerships and building new cinemas, with the first one opening at Alder Hey Children's Hospital later this year. Fuelling this growth is our success in fundraising and income generation, with our income reaching a significant £1.3 million in 2023, alongside winning significant long term capital grants.

For this trustee role, we are specifically seeking candidates who have led a charity through a significant period of growth i.e. from small to medium size (c £1.5 - £5m), and are therefore able to bring contemporary knowledge, guidance, and insight, to support us in delivering our ambitious vision. Experience of income growth and diversification, and/ or, the UK Public Health sector is of special interest to us.

  • To have a substantial background and proven success as a charity CEO or COO, with a track record of growing organisational impact, income, and profile.
  • To bring innovative thinking and energising drive as the designated Charity Trustee, developing the knowledge of MediCinema’s Board and Exec in regard to sector best practice.
  • Via your input, to help ensure the value and quality of our initiatives, across all functions as we grow, working closely with the CEO, and Senior Leadership Team.
  • Use your experience of leading organisational growth to support MediCinema in developing its culture and systems to enable successful scaling and expansion.

All trustees have the following generic responsibilities.

  • Ensuring that the organisation pursues its stated objects (purposes), as defined in its governing document, by developing and agreeing a long-term strategy.
  • Ensuring that the organisation complies with its governing document (i.e. its trust deed, constitution or memorandum and articles of association), charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations.
  • Ensuring that the organisation applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its charitable objects (i.e. the charity must not spend money on activities that are not included in its own objects, however worthwhile or charitable those activities are) for the benefit of the public.
  • Ensuring that the organisation defines its goals and evaluates performance against agreed targets.
  • Safeguarding the good name and values of the Charity.
  • Ensuring the effective and efficient administration of the organisation, including having appropriate policies and procedures in place.
  • Ensuring the financial stability of the organisation, and Protecting and managing the property of the charity and ensuring the proper investment of the charity’s funds

Time Commitment

The standard term for a Trustee is 3 years, with a maximum of 9 years (consecutive or non-consecutive). MediCinema's board currently meets five times per year, including one fully online meeting and four hybrid meetings held in a central London location. We strongly prefer that trustees attend at least 50% of the hybrid meetings in person.

Join Us and Make a Difference

Being a MediCinema Trustee is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of NHS patients, families, and carers. You'll collaborate with a passionate team, contribute to the growth of a unique charity, and bring the magic of film to a growing network of hospitals across the UK.

Our Board believes the best teams not only share common goals and values, but they also need a diverse set of skills, perspectives and experiences to truly succeed. We actively seek to engage diverse employees, Trustees and supporters to promote inclusion and diversity.
