We currently have ten Trustees from a range of professions, and we are looking to increase the number to twelve over the next year. We are a close-knit team which has been working well. The Hospice is currently being re-built at a cost of £17.5m and should open in Spring 2026. This is going to an important and busy time for the Charity as we will be developing our strategy in a changing healthcare environment.
We are currently seeking to appoint a Trustee who has:
- a clear understanding of our mission to put the patients and their families at the centre of any decisions made.
- compassion with a respect to the nature of Palliative care.
- a desire to work collaboratively with fellow Trustees and volunteers.
- strategic thinking for the charities long-term aims.
- integrity so that decisions made by the Board are in the best interest of the Charity.
- good governance to ensure we comply with our legal and ethical goals and
- the time and commitment needed to join our high-performing Board
and are particularly keen to hear from lawyers with expertise in commercial or corporate law, who can bring strategic legal insight and governance experience to our Board.
We are committed to equality and diversity within our workforce and all volunteering opportunities. We welcome expressions of interest from individuals with a range of backgrounds and particularly encourage ethnic diversity, disabled people and those from under-represented backgrounds, communities and groups to apply.
