Who we are
Princess Alice Hospice cares for up to 1,000 people at any one time and around 2,500 people each year in the London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and across a large part of Surrey.
Many people think that hospices are all about dying. We disagree. We believe that end-of-life care is about helping people live every moment to the full, with comfort, dignity and compassion. Whether at home or in our Hospice, we create space for families to enjoy special moments and make precious memories together.
We are a centre of excellence and maintain the highest professional standards so that our care is the very best it can be. Care for which we are proudly rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
As we continue to deliver on this vision, our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in ensuring the organisation remains financially sustainable, accountable, forward-thinking and closely connected to the diverse communities we serve.
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking three new Trustees to join our experienced and committed Board, bringing expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Public health
We are seeking a Trustee with strong clinical or public health expertise, ideally a senior NHS or private healthcare leader, perhaps a medic, head of social work or an expert in public health education. You will bring a deep understanding of the health and social care landscape, the challenges facing our system and the opportunities to normalise conversations about death and improve access, equity and outcomes for patients and families.
Your insight will help us strengthen our focus on population health, health inequalities and how hospice care integrates within the wider system of care. This expertise will be central to ensuring our care is not only clinically excellent but also socially responsive, supporting our commitment to quality assurance and the continuous improvement of our services.
- Communities
We are looking for a well-connected, outreach-focused leader with a strong understanding of community engagement, inclusion and partnership building. You might come from a local authority, charity, health, education or faith background; what matters most is your ability to forge relationships, influence across diverse networks and champion the Hospice’s cause. Your insight will help us deepen our reach and relationships across the varied communities we serve, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can access the care and support they need. You will bring strategic perspective, empathy and authenticity, helping us to keep inclusion, equity and belonging at the heart of everything we do.

Guided by dignity, respect, and excellence, we’re proud of the difference we make every day.
The Role
As Chair of Trustees, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Prospect Hospice. Working in close partnership with the Chief Executive, you will lead the Board in delivering strong governance, strategic oversight, and a culture of collaboration and accountability.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide leadership and direction to the Board of Trustees
- Ensure the Board operates effectively with the right mix of skills and experience
- Champion our values and charitable objectives
- Oversee governance and strategic development in line with legal and regulatory standards

Thank you!
Prospect Hospice is looking for new talented and passionate trustees with senior fundraising, clinical practice or commercial experience 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. You don’t need to have been a trustee before, professional experience and time available is more important and in turn you will develop your skills and become a valued and critical part of our outstanding organisation while adding value to the community!
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 up to four 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 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.

Experience in setting up and growing organisations, managing income and expenditure, and ensuring profitability. Proven ability to build partnerships and optimise operational efficiency. Experience in a start-up environment or with entrepreneurial ventures, supporting the development and launch of new income-generating initiatives, would be desirable though not essential.
Clinical - We are seeking a registered clinical professional—either a nurse or allied health professional (AHP)—to join our Board of Trustees. Ideally, you will bring previous board or senior leadership experience and a strong understanding of clinical governance. You will provide expert clinical insight to help ensure the hospice maintains the highest standards of patient care and safety.

From stunning boutiques full of designer gems to discount stores where you can grab a bargain, our charity shops are much-loved across Scotland.
We are looking for friendly volunteers to help our shop management team assist customers and donors, and ensure the shop is tidy and well stocked. Whether you have a passion for fashion and love chatting to customers, or you would prefer to be behind the scenes in our stockroom, your help could make a difference in your local community.
Our Retail Volunteer Anne shares why she loves volunteering, “I wanted to learn new skills as well as get to know more people locally, so volunteering in the shop was ideal. I enjoy being part of the team! It’s good to feel useful and part of the successful running of the shop.”
We believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following the diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid. Our shops are vital in helping us raise the funds needed to provide services such as community support services, specialist nurses, advice and information, education, and peer support.
Join our fabulous team of Retail Volunteers and learn new skills, make great friends, and make a real difference to people in Scotland who are isolated, scared, or anxious about their condition.
