Trustee

The Old Op Museum is developing an ambitious new strategic plan and embarking on a major reinterpretation project ‘Old Op Reimagined’ and is seeking three new Trustees to help develop and achieve its strategic aims.

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with specialist skills/knowledge in the following areas:

• Professional involvement and knowledge of the local hospitals and medical schools, and expertise in public engagement with medicine.
• Commercial management, marketing and digital experience in museums.
• Fundraising and development, particularly working with corporate partners and individual donors.
• Social inclusion in museums, and involvement in the local community.

For full information please see Trustee Recruitment Pack here or below.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Monday 2 June.

Interviews will take place on Thursday 26 June and Monday 30 June.

To apply, please email Carol Seigel at chair@oldoperatingtheatre.com with your CV, contact details for two referees, and a covering letter.

We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experience levels, and prior board experience is not essential – what matters to us is your interest in the Old Operating Theatre, your enthusiasm for its work, and ability to be an active contributor.

About us

The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret is a unique and evocative place offering special insights into the history of medicine, surgery and women’s health. Through its physical spaces and its collections, the museum offers exciting opportunities to explore medicine, health and wellbeing. It is one of London’s best loved small museums and is looking to develop further over the coming years.

The Lord Brock Trust (LBT) which runs the Museum is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) set up in 2012. This superseded the Lord Brock Memorial Trust which had been managing the Old Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret (OOT) since its establishment in 1962 by Lord Russell Brock.
