A Trustee will bring an individual area of expertise to benefit our organisation. Among the many skills they may have relate to business development, financial management; charity governance, staff development, performance management, local government, disability service development and adult social care. The Trustees work closely with the Executive Management Team (EMT) on the strategic direction of the business. They coordinate and attend quarterly board meetings, through which they review the work of the charity and provide advice, support and focus attention onto the areas that the EMT needs to consider and prepare for, to continuously improve what we do and respond to the changing environment in which Bethphage operates. Bethphage is a values-based charitable business, supporting some of the most vulnerable people in the community. The charity also needs to make a modest financial surplus to remain viable. The role of a Trustee is to be a critical friend to the management team, lending expertise and experience to help guide the organisation in achieving its aims and sometimes competing objectives. Some of our board members have been a part of Bethphage for many years, you will be joining a supportive, friendly, and collegiate team that will help you develop and grow your role as a Trustee. Trustees generally thoroughly enjoy the role and find that it is a very rewarding experience. The Trustees work on a voluntary capacity for the benefit of the charity, this usually equates to one day per month. All Trustees are requested to undergo a DBS check (Disclosure & Barring service). Currently, we are particularly interested in hearing from people with financial and/or legal experience and expertise.
Our Mission is to be an excellent provider of services for people with disabilities

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. 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 the following areas:
Fundraising – Extensive experience in both mass-market and relationship fundraising. We are seeking someone who also has a broad mix of expertise in and understanding of key, income streams and innovative fundraising approaches.
Commercial leadership, Growth mindset:
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. You will advise the Board and Executive Team on clinical matters, monitor care quality and resource efficiency, ensure compliance with relevant clinical regulations (including safeguarding), and support the delivery of our clinical strategy.
Interviews to be held week commencing 5 January 2026.
