Would you be willing to volunteer your time and expertise to join the Hospice as a Trustee member of our Board of Trustees? Garden House Hospice Care's Trustee Recruitment Initiative aims to identify and encourage people who want to help make a difference to those in our community affected by life-limiting illnesses.

We are looking for new trustees to join our Board who are energetic, talented, and committed people, with good leadership, interpersonal skills, used to being in a people-focused environment, and who can formulate and implement strategy. These opportunities reflect our succession policy which encourages a healthy turnover at Board level. We believe that this brings new ideas and experiences to the charity and ensures that, in future, we continue to improve in order to provide as much care and support as possible to those who would benefit from our services. We strive to be an inclusive and diverse Board and welcome applications from members of underrepresented groups.

We are looking for people able to take up the role at any time over the coming six months but if you would prefer a later start date, perhaps due to existing commitments, please still apply now. We are particularly keen to attract interest from people with relevant senior experience in the following sectors:

Finance and accounting

You will have Financial Management/Accounting experience, helping us to maintain an overview of the organisation's affairs ensuring its financial viability and that proper financial management records and procedures are maintained. You will have the skills and expertise to analyse proposals or plans pertaining to the development, growth, or diversification of the organisation and to examine the financial consequences of those proposals/plans.

Clinicial

We are particularly keen to attract interest from people with clinical experience as a doctor, nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or any other clinical role. If you are interested, please don't hesitate to make contact and we'd be very happy to discuss the work of trustees with you.

If you would like to find out more about this opportunity, then please see the Role Profile and Information Pack. To register your interest and discuss the role further please complete our 'Expression of Interest' form.
