Prospect Hospice is looking for new talented and passionate trustees with senior fundraising, clinical practice or commercial experience to join our Board of Trustees.

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 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.

What we’re looking for
You’ll bring:
- A genuine commitment to animal welfare and to the League’s mission and values: Compassionate, Courageous, Credible, Collaborative and Connected.
- Strategic thinking, sound judgment and the ability to analyse complex information to make evidence-based decisions.
- Experience of operating at a senior or strategic level, ideally within a board or governance setting.
- A commitment to the principles of good governance and the Seven Principles of Public Life (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership).
Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential – we value diversity of thought, background and experience.
Time commitment
- One in-person Board meeting per year and three virtual meetings, plus an Annual General Meeting.
- Additional engagement between meetings as needed (approximately 1–2 days per month).
Trustee positions are unremunerated, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
Join us
