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 operates as a charity organisation. Patients are referred to our services by healthcare professionals operating within NHS Lanarkshire (NHSL). Our services are commissioned and partially funded (approximately 35%) by NHSL, and we work in partnership with them and other third-sector organisations to ensure patients and their loved ones receive the right care and support at the right time, in the right place.

St Andrew's Hospice is governed by Board members of which are both Directors and Trustees of the organisation. 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.

Most importantly, you will have a strong commitment to the ethos and values of St Andrew’s Hospice established by the Religious Sisters of Charity. Ideal applicants will have proven experience at Executive or Board level and a genuine interest in both the charity sector and the future direction of hospice care. Becoming a member of our Board will provide you with the opportunity to share your skill set and make a meaningful contribution to our strategic plans and direction.
