St Andrew’s Hospice is a registered charity providing specialist care and support to those living with life-limiting conditions and their families via our Inpatient Unit, Outpatient Department, Bereavement Support and Education. St Andrew's Hospice is governed by a Board made up of members who are both Directors of the organisation and Trustees. Hospice Trustees are volunteers and meetings of the Board take place up to six times a year. The Hospice Board seeks to be a balanced representation of the Lanarkshire community. Due to upcoming retirements, we are seeking new Trustees to join us in our work and deliver our next strategy.
We are especially interested in recruiting Trustees with expertise in the following areas:
We would also be keen to hear from you if you have other relevant skills and experience that could also benefit the Hospice. You will have gained skills and experience through your life and/or work that would make a valuable contribution to the Hospice Board. You will be enthusiastic, able to work effectively in a team, scrutinise reports, ask questions and weigh up issues. Most importantly, you will have a commitment to the ethos and values of St Andrew’s Hospice. Ideal applicants will have proven experience at Executive or Board level and have an interest in both the charity sector and the future direction of palliative care. Becoming a member of our Board of Trustees will provide you with an opportunity to share your skill set and make a valuable contribution to our strategic plans and direction. Being a Trustee can be very rewarding. As a Trustee, you have the chance to support and shape the work and strategic direction of the Hospice and make a significant difference to a cause that matters to you.
