Rachael joined the Trust in October 2022, as a Grants Officer.

Her career began in the Higher Education sector, where she worked in management accounts. She then moved into a research finance role and completed her AAT qualification in 2015.

As a wife of serving personnel, she recognises some of the unique challenges faced by military families and was drawn to the role of Grants Officer at the Trust. She actively supports the wide portfolio of active programmes the Trust administers on behalf of the MOD and HM Treasury.
