Hospice UK has a vacancy for a trustee with a recognised professional finance qualification from any of the CCAB accountancy bodies.

Hospice UK is the membership body for the hospice movement with over 200 member organisations across the four nations of the United Kingdom.  We are seeking to strengthen the skill base of our Board of voluntary trustees by appointing an individual with a professional finance qualification from any of the CCAB accountancy bodies.

As a member of the Board, you will share on our responsibility to deliver our Five Year Strategy, 2024 to 2029.

You will need to work within Hospice UK’s values providing support, encouragement and appropriate challenge within the Board. You will be an ambassador for the organisation and committed to our mission, “Hospice Care, for all, for now, forever.”

The role is voluntary although reasonable expenses are paid within our policy.  You will be expected to attend four board meetings each year as well as a two day awaytime session.  Board meetings are generally held at our Headquarters, Hospice House and are in person.  The awaytime will move around the country and again are in person meetings.  You will also be expected to be a member of the Audit and Finance Committee which also meets four times per year. This committee meets virtually.

In your role you will also work closely with the Chief Operating Officer to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of our financial plans and operation.
