Be our next trustee

Are you ready to make the difference?

Are you passionate about hospice care? Could you be one of our new volunteer trustees? Whether you are an experienced trustee, or this would be your first trustee role, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for new trustees to join our board who share our vision and want to make the difference.

Keech Hospice Care provides specialist palliative care for adults and children with life-limiting illnesses, as well as support for their loved ones. Our mission is to provide the best quality of life for our patients and their loved ones as they prepare for a dignified death, by making the difference when it matters the most.

Our trustees have a key leadership role, setting the direction of the organisation and helping us achieve our aims. Becoming a trustee means taking on a voluntary role, using your skills to support and guide the charity to achieve our agreed vision and goals.

What are we looking for in a new trustee?

You do not need prior experience as a charity trustee. Everyone who feels they have skills and time to offer is very welcome to apply.

We are particularly looking for people who are passionate about making a difference to their community and have skills and experience in one or more of the following:

• Digital Innovation Skills
• Sustainability Skills
• Fundraising Management Skills
• Retail Management Skills
• Experience in the Clinical Sector

The role can be demanding at times but deeply rewarding and you will be part of a friendly, energetic team. As a new trustee you will receive support through trustee induction meetings, training and peer to peer mentoring to help you in your role. Reasonable travel expenses arising from trustee duties can be covered.

What being a trustee could offer you:

Being a trustee offers you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our organisation, develop leadership skills, gain financial understanding and contribute to the community while gaining valuable governance experience as well as many more skills.
