Chief Executive

East Lancashire Hospice

£85,000 - £90,000

Park Lee Road, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB2 3N

Full-time

East Lancashire Hospice is a registered charity, founded in 1984. We support and care for patients with life limiting illnesses, their families and others close to them across our community.

In 2008, the Hospice became independent. Since then, we have grown significantly to include a wide range of services, recognised as “Outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission. We now seek a new Chief Executive to lead the organisation into the next stage of our strategic development. We are ambitious in our goals and wish to continue our growth to enable us to reach and support more people than ever before.

We provide specialist palliative care and support. But we’re not just about the end of life, we’re about the quality of life. Whether in our hospice or receiving care at home, our patients and their friends and family are at the heart of what we do. We’re by their side, helping them make the most of life. Our holistic approach, centred on the individual’s health and wellbeing, helps us achieve that together.

Like all hospices, East Lancashire Hospice operates in a challenging and changing financial environment. As an independent charity, we rely on a combination of statutory funding, fundraising, retail, lottery, donations, legacies and commercial income to sustain and develop our services. The Hospice is entering a planned period of investment to support agreed strategic priorities and strengthen long term sustainability. The next Chief Executive will play a central role in ensuring this investment is well governed, affordable and aligned to our charitable purpose.

We are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive who will lead the organisation into the next stage of our strategic development to enable us to realise our strong ambitions to reach and support more people than ever before. We are looking for a forward-thinking inspiring, ambitious, people focused leader with a successful senior leadership track record in a relevant, not for profit, public or private sector environment.

Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact.
