The Hospice is governed by a Council of Management, made up of 12 elected trustees. We now occupy modern, purpose built premises in landscaped grounds, a short drive from the town centre, which comprise a 10 bedroom In Patient Unit and a Day Care Facility with 25 places.

Responsible for a budget of £3m+ and working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to ensure that the Hospice meets its charitable objectives within the strategic and governance framework set by the Board of Trustees.

With proven management skills in a related sector and commercial acumen together with the ability to motivate others, you will have the flexibility and drive to build effective relationships internally and externally with our major partners and to build on our excellent support from the local community.
