Trustees wanted to help steer us through a time of unprecedented change

Unremunerated

Trinity Hospice is the largest local charity on the Fylde Coast serving a population of 360,000. We provide specialist end of life care for adults and children who have life threatening or limiting illnesses in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

We are currently looking for three outstanding individuals to join the Board of Trustees to help steer the charity through a time of unprecedented change. With a new strategy and business plan, we are responding to radical health sector reforms, growing competition and significantly increasing numbers on the Fylde Coast living and dying with complex end of life needs.

The Board strives to ensure that a wide range of knowledge and experience is present among the Trustees and we would like to encourage applications from people with one or more of the following:

Finance skills

Experience in the Medical sector

HR skills

However, if you feel you have a skill that would be useful to the Board, we are happy to receive an expression of interest.

Over the past 30 years, we have succeeded by focussing on what really matters – our patients. And in being responsive to our patients’ needs, we have ensured high quality and compassionate care for them and their families. This responsiveness and engagement is central to our continued success. You too will want to get involved in our work and be an advocate for Trinity and our vision that “by 2020, everyone on the Fylde Coast has access to good end of life care and a good death”. This is a voluntary position but the rewards are great.

Ideally applicants will be resident or work / have worked on the Fylde Coast. The Board meets six times each year. Trustees are also required to commit to joining one or more of the sub-committees (Investment, Children’s, Trading, Audit, Governance etc).

The closing date for receiving expressions of interest is Sunday 31^st January 2016.

If you are interested in this exciting opportunity and would like to discuss it further please contact Denise Sage, Administrator on 01253 359361.
