Could you be our next Trustee?

St Andrew’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care and support to people living with life-limiting illnesses in Lanarkshire. Our goal is to offer physical, psychological, social, and spiritual care to our patients and their loved ones in a calm, peaceful, purpose-built, and welcoming environment.

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. Due to upcoming retirements, we are seeking new Trustees to join us in our work and deliver our strategy.

We are especially interested in recruiting Trustees with expertise in the following areas: business management, facilities management, HR management, public relations/marketing and healthcare management. We would also be keen to hear from those who have other relevant skills and experience that they consider could benefit the Hospice.

You will have work and/or life experience that would bring valuable skills to the Hospice Board. You should be enthusiastic, able to work effectively within a team framework, scrutinise and interrogate reports, ask questions and weigh issues carefully and in a measured manner. 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.

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 contribution to a cause that matters to you for the benefit of the community of Lanarkshire.
