Officer and committee member elections and appointments
BCS officer and committee member roles are filled by a mixture of elections and appointments and are usually for a period of three years, enabling you to embed yourself fully into the role. For our presidential and vice-presidential roles, elections are held more than one year before the role starts, enabling an ‘elect’ period of a year so that the incoming candidate can get a feel for the role and receive a full handover.
Why work at BCS?
The BCS is a professional body and membership society for those working in cardiovascular medicine in the UK. We have over 3,000 members, with membership growing steadily. The BCS aims to support and represent all those working in the fields of cardiovascular care and research.
We are a small friendly staff team of about 22 staff who work closely together across a range of departments and activities. We do from time to time have vacancies, especially as we expand our activities. We operate a hybrid working model with most full-time staff working 2 days a week from our central London HQ. We are committed to encouraging inclusion, equity and diversity in our workforce and welcome applications from individuals from under-represented groups to better reflect the community we serve and to help broaden our perspectives.
We offer a range of staff benefits including a 35 hour working week, 25 days annual leave a year and closure over the Christmas and New Year period. More details can be found as part in the job descriptions for vacant posts.
