Location: Dorcester

Time commitment: 1 – 2 days per month

About Weldmar Hospicecare

Weldmar Hospicecare is an independent local charity that cares for people living with a life limiting illness, such as cancer, heart disease, or motor neurone disease. We also support the loved ones of our patients. We have been providing our care for the people of Dorset since 1994.

Our individually tailored care – where we focus on the person, not just their symptoms and illness – takes place in patients’ own homes, in community hospitals and care homes, and at our Inpatient Unit in Dorchester.

Weldmar supports more than two thousand people across the north, south, and west of Dorset each year. All our care is provided free of charge. We help people live as good a life as possible when their illness cannot be cured.

Our team of staff includes specialist nurses, doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, counsellors, chefs, maintenance engineers, complementary therapists, retail professionals, and experts in fundraising, marketing, finance, people services, and more. A number of dedicated volunteers in many aspects of our work support us.

As an independent charity, we rely on donations, fundraising events and our charity shops to fund our work.

About the role

Weldmare Hospicecare services are rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, and we are seeking a clinically experienced Trustee to join our Board.

This is an exciting time to join the hospice; we are in a strong financial position, with many exciting priorities underway, including a big project in the Inpatient Unit and the creation of new outpatient services. We are currently refurbishing and updating our retail outlets and have good partnerships in our bordering counties of Somerset, Hampshire, Devon and Wiltshire.

To support our plans, the Board is now looking to appoint a new clinical Trustee to replace those whose terms have come (or are coming) to an end.

First-time Trustees and those seeking personal development would be welcome to apply.

Who we are looking for

We seek individuals with a fundamental alignment with our charitable purpose and values. With well-honed interpersonal and communication skills, you will bring sound judgement, the ability to think strategically and offer constructive challenge and debate to the Board and senior team.

We are also looking for those with senior experience in the health care sector, with experience working at a cross-agency level. We are open to a broad range of senior leadership experience, particularly nursing and allied health professionals. Whilst prior experience of end of life/palliative care would be advantageous, it isn’t essential.

You will act as a strong sounding board to the Chair, fellow Trustees and the executive team, and be able to provide strong strategic advice and overview.

We particularly welcome applicants from those who are under-represented on our Trustee Board, such as women, disabled people and individuals from black and minority ethnic communities.

Join Leonard Cheshire's transformational journey and utilise your clinical insight and expertise on our Board.

Applications close: Monday 27th October 2025

Location: London SE1 9SG

Time commitment: c.1 day per month

About Leonard Cheshire

Leonard Cheshire has been at the forefront of disability rights and care for more than seven decades. Founded on the principle that disabled people have the right to independence, we continue to be guided by this visionary ethos as we support over 2,000 disabled people through our residential care homes, nursing homes, and supported living services.

Our 4,000 dedicated staff work across England to deliver care that is consistently rated among the highest in the sector, with 87% of our services rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by regulators. We are not simply a care provider but a pioneering force for change, championing technology-enabled independence and advocating for the rights of disabled people at the highest levels of government.

Following a period of significant challenge, Leonard Cheshire has emerged stronger and more focused and we are developing a clear vision for the future. We are focused on utilising our resources on our core mission of providing outstanding care for disabled people in the UK.

About the role

Leonard Cheshire is looking to appoint an exceptional clinical professional to join our Board of Trustees at a pivotal moment in our 75-year history as we embark on an ambitious strategy that will reshape how we deliver person-centred care for disabled people across the UK.

You will work closely with our Chief Executive, Dr Ruth Owen OBE, and Vanessa Davies, our Executive Director Quality and Clinical Care, together with our high-calibre board, to guide Leonard Cheshire through this next phase.

You will help shape policy and strategy, provide oversight of our clinical standards, and ensure that our governance reflects best practice across the healthcare and social care sectors.

Our new Trustee will contribute to decisions about service design, quality frameworks, regulatory compliance, and strategic partnerships that will affect thousands of disabled people.

Who we are looking for

We seek a Trustee who combines deep clinical expertise with commercial acumen and strong governance experience.

We are open regarding which particular clinical background you will bring, as we operate in a wide context supporting all disabled people to lead independent lives. We are particularly interested in someone who can evidence knowledge and skill in applying their clinical experience within therapeutic environments, enabling young people to live as independently as possible, within the community. An added benefit will be someone who has combined clinical and therapeutic interventions with the use of enabling technology.

Your clinical background should be complemented by experience in leadership roles where you have balanced quality, safety, and financial considerations. Perhaps you have worked in senior positions within NHS trusts, private healthcare organisations, or social care providers. You will have experience with regulatory bodies such as the CQC or have been involved in service transformation projects.

Equally important is your understanding of good governance. Experience of board-level decision making, risk management, and strategic oversight is valuable, whether gained in healthcare settings or other sectors. Furthermore, experience of working with complex commissioning arrangements and local authority partnerships is helpful.

You will bring genuine passion for disability rights and person-centred care, understanding that our work is about far more than meeting care needs – it’s about enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence.

Most importantly, you will share our commitment to the highest standards of care. You will be someone who can think strategically about quality, safety, and innovation while keeping the experiences and aspirations of disabled people at the heart of every decision.

We're Building a Movement. Want to Help?

Are you tired of the old conversations about what it means to be a man? Do you believe that true strength lies in showing up, being vulnerable, and committing to personal growth? We do, too.

We're a new charity on a mission to redefine men's well-being in the UK. We're not about quick fixes; we're about deep, lasting change. We’re creating a space for men to find community, get the tools they need for self-improvement, and build a life of purpose.

But to get this movement off the ground, we need a team of passionate, remote volunteers to help us get ready to launch. We're looking for big hearts and sharp minds to help us behind the scenes, from your kitchen table, your home office, or wherever you feel most inspired.

We need help with:

• Social Media: Crafting powerful, engaging posts that change the narrative.

• Administration: Keeping our project organised and on track.

• Outreach: Building connections with potential partners and supporters.

• Website: Helping us tell our story online.

And so much more!!!

This isn't just about ticking off tasks; it's about being part of something bigger. Every email you send, every post you write, and every connection you make will help us reach a man who needs a space to be heard.

If you have a few hours a week and a fire in your belly for this mission, we want to hear from you. No fancy qualifications needed - just a belief in a better future for men.

Ready to help us build a community of courage and growth?

Let's build this together.
