Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI Board Apprenticeship Scheme 2022
Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI is the only charity in Northern
Ireland dedicated to blood cancer research. We fund scientists and clinicians
who are experts in their field as they work to understand how blood cancers
develop and find better methods of treatment. Their aim is to improve the
outcome and quality of life for all patients affected by leukaemia, lymphoma,
myeloma and other related conditions.
Every day in Northern Ireland 3 people are diagnosed with
blood cancer. It is the 5th biggest cancer in NI and the 3rd
most fatal. Blood cancer can affect all ages but it is the most common cancer
for those under 30. The research funded by LLNI is vital to ensure that people
of all ages survive blood cancer.
LLNI is led by a dedicated Board of Directors who use their
skills and expertise to ensure the charity operates with good governance and
the money raised by supporters is used to fund innovative and beneficial
research.
They are seeking two enthusiastic volunteers to join as apprentice
members for a two year term, volunteers would be required to attend monthly
board meetings either online or in person at the Patrick G Johnston Centre for
Cancer Research.
This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside the
experienced board of a successful charity and to use your skills and ideas to
help LLNI fund blood cancer research in Northern Ireland.
