Crane Fund

Apothecary for the Crane Fund

The Crane Fund is seeking a medical professional (psychiatrist, GP or other medical professional) to act as Apothecary from September 2025.

The Crane Fund provides financial assistance for medical treatments and testing to students at the University who would not be able to access this otherwise due to financial hardship. The Fund typically receives 40 applications per term, with the Apothecary dedicating up to two hours per week to evaluating each eligible submission. The Apothecary is responsible for reviewing pre-screened applications, ensuring student eligibility in accordance with the NICE guidelines, and assessing medical necessity based on GP letters, student statements and College Tutor endorsements. This pivotal role supports the continued success of the Fund and offers an honorarium of £2,000 per academic year. The statutory term for this post is five years.

For more information or to express your interest, please contact the Student Funding and Fee Policy Team at financialassistance@admin.cam.ac.uk. All interested parties should register their interest by 19 April 2025.
