Trustees

Use your expertise in HR, finance, clinical/medical, or fundraising to join the Board of a leading provider of hospice and palliative care for adults, children, and their families across Lincolnshire, Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Location: Peaks Lane, Grimsby DN32 9RP

Applications close at 12 p.m. Monday 20th January.

Who we are.

St Andrew's Hospice is an independent registered charity providing compassionate care and support for adults, children, their families and their professional carers who are adjusting to life following the diagnosis of a life-limiting condition, throughout their illness, up to their death and into family bereavement support.

We have delivered palliative and end-of-life care for nearly 45 years to people across North East Lincolnshire and for nearly 25 years to children from Lincolnshire, Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

We receive only about a fifth of our funding from the NHS, which means we depend on the generosity of our community to fund much of the care we provide for local people.

Our hospice care services are delivered both in the community and in our buildings under one roof, providing high-quality, person-centred, holistic palliative care.

About the role.

Our Trustees work closely with our executive team to ensure we continue to provide outstanding care, maintain our excellent reputation and remain appropriately resourced to serve our communities in the future. Our Trustees provide strategic leadership and expertise from a range of backgrounds and industries, giving St Andrew’s the direction and insight to continue as a leader in palliative care.

Who we are looking for.

We are looking for four new Trustees with director-level experience to join our skilled team of Trustees as we continue to deliver outstanding care.

The skills and expertise we are looking for are:

• HR
• Finance
• Clinical/Medical
• Fundraising

Time Commitment

Board meetings take place on the first Thursday of every month from 4-7 p.m. at our St Andrews Hospice, Peaks Lane, Grimsby. In addition, one or two away days per year may be held for strategic planning and board development. Meetings are to be attended in person, although virtual attendance can be arranged in exceptional circumstances.

There may be an opportunity to participate in a focused working group to progress strategic developments. These will be based on skill set and capacity to participate.

Board members are expected to maintain a reasonable level of contact with the hospice so that they understand the priorities and working environment and feel confident about the quality of its work.

Our Trustees are encouraged to visit our shops and undertake reviews on these. They also link up with SMT members within their area of speciality.
