Trustee - Prospect Hospice

Prospect Hospice is looking for new talented and passionate trustees with senior HR, Transformation/Change expertise or Governance and Compliance management experience to join our Board of Trustees.

What will you be doing?

Prospect Hospice is looking for new talented and passionate trustees with senior HR, Transformation/Change expertise and Fundraising  professionals to join our Board of Trustees. These are challenging times for UK Hospices, and you will play a crucial role in shaping the future. If you have time, like rising to a challenge and drawing on your skills, experience and networks to help us succeed then 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 Board usually meets four times each year, in addition to which Trustees are asked to also join one of our quarterly sub committees which also meet four times a year. 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 have time and 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 vision, mission 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 HR, Transformation and Change Management as well as individuals with experience in Governance and Compliance management.
