With around 11,000 individual members active in over 150 countries and a network of 130 National committees (similar to the one in the UK) spread across the world, ICOMOS is one of the most highly regarded conservation organisations in the world. Its 31 International Scientific Committees made up of heritage conservation specialists from across the globe are responsible for developing charters, principles and guidelines on conservation and management of cultural sites. It is one the three advisers to the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee on cultural World Heritage properties (the other two being IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) and ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property)).

ICOMOS-UK is one of the 130 national committees of ICOMOS. It is an independent charity, set up in 1965. We have an active membership of individuals and institutions who come from a wide range of backgrounds in the UK and worldwide.

There are eight scientific committees which report to the Board. Our focus is on providing advice on good practice through the dissemination of ICOMOS’s international Charters, Principles and Guidelines and regular national and international events (conferences, lectures, panel discussions etc). We are also the only independent adviser on the implementation of 1972 World Heritage Convention and its Operational Guidelines to the UK Government and the 33 World Heritage sites situated across the UK. The Board and the eight scientific committees collaborate with the heritage, arts and education sectors in the UK and internationally in developing new thinking and making ICOMOS’s international standards relevant to the national context.

Prospect Hospice is looking for talented, passionate Finance, Fundraising and Digital professionals to join our Board of Trustees. If you have the time and enthusiasm to be a part of our outstanding organisation and really add value to the community, we want to hear from you!
The Background
Over four decades, Prospect Hospice has become the organisation that people in Swindon,
Marlborough and north Wiltshire turn to when they, or the people they love, are diagnosed with a
life-limiting illness. We have cared for and supported thousands of local people, which is why so many
people contribute in their own way to a charity that makes a positive difference in our community.
Our vision is ‘A community where death is no longer a taboo, and everyone has the right to live and
die well’. At Prospect Hospice, our patients and their loved one, our staff and our volunteers are at
the centre of all that we do. Working with local health and social care partners, and stakeholders from
across the community, we have a vital role in improving end-of-life care for everyone.
We are looking for new Trustees who can support our mission to work with and through
others using our skills and expertise, so that people have a choice and support at the end of their life.
Our Board usually meets four times each year, in addition to which Trustees are asked to also join
one of our quarterly sub committees. While it would be beneficial for Trustees to be willing/able to
contribute to Prospect related activity outside meetings, for example to participate in specific project focused tasks or attending and representing the Charity at external events, this is not essential.
Who are we looking for?
Our Board of Trustee team has responsibility for overseeing our strategy and performance and we
are looking for people who will bring the enthusiasm, experience and commitment we need to help
guide the Hospice through the next phase of its development. You will have the ability to be an
effective role model and influencer and be committed to the aims, objectives and values of Prospect
Hospice, maintaining a genuine interest in our work. You will be a strategic and creative thinker and
be able to work effectively as part of a team.
We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with relevant experience and professionally
qualified in Finance/Accountancy as well as individuals with experience in
Fundraising/Income Generation with emphasis on successfully using digital marketing.

services, ensuring that they live a life that is free from harm, abuse and neglect. We work in an open
and transparent way and encourage staff, volunteers, patients and families to raise any safeguarding
concerns.
