Become a Trustee at Dougie Mac Hospice. Help shape the future of palliative and end-of-life care in Staffordshire. We’re seeking committed individuals who share our CARE values to support strong governance and help guide our all-age hospice serving our local community.
What will you be doing?
The Board requires a broad mix of skill, experience and attributes to achieve the efficient and effective governance of the organisation. Trustees need the knowledge, experience, aptitude and commitment to make a significant contribution to the Board. The hospice’s governing document allows for 6 – 15 trustees at any one time. We are committed to building a diverse Board that reflects the community we serve.
The voting members of the Board are responsible for the governance of the organisation. They must ensure that it operates in a manner that:

- Utilises assets and resources for charitable purposes in line with the governing document
- Gives due attention to charitable and company law
- Adheres to the organisation’s philosophy and values
- Upholds the reputation of the organisation.
Trustees must always act in the best interests of Dougie Mac, working together to put patients, families and the wider community at the heart of every decision. This is a voluntary role and Trustees cannot pursue their own professional and business interests, to personally benefit from their position.
As a Trustee of Dougie Mac, you will play a key role in ensuring the hospice is well-governed, financially resilient and able to meet the needs of our community now and in the future. Trustees collectively:

- Oversee organisational performance, risk management and financial sustainability.
- Support and challenge the Executive Team to deliver high-quality care.
- Uphold our values and safeguard the reputation of the hospice.
- Act as ambassadors for Dougie Mac in the community and within their networks.
This is a voluntary role that requires integrity, sound judgement, teamwork and a genuine commitment to supporting excellent hospice care.
�� Who Are We Looking For?
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, skills and lived experiences. You do not need previous trustee experience — just the right mindset, values and ability to contribute at Board level.
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in:
- Senior leadership or board-level decision-making
- Strategy, governance or risk management
- Healthcare, palliative care or wider public sector services
- Finance, investment or commercial management
- HR, workforce, organisational development or culture
- Digital, data or information governance
- Community engagement, fundraising or voluntary sector work
Above all, you should bring curiosity, integrity, compassion, and the confidence to both support and constructively challenge.

- 4 Board Meetings per year
- 2–4 Committee or Trading Board meetings
- The AGM
- The Annual Trustee Away Day
Additional preparation time and occasional hospice events are also expected.
Out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
