St Giles Hospice, based in Whittington near Lichfield, is specifically looking for candidates with strong fundraising experience and finance or accountancy backgrounds to strengthen its governance and strategic direction.
The volunteer roles come as the hospice continues to advocate for sustainable long-term funding for the hospice sector, having recently appointed five new trustees to its board in October.
Sally Bedford, Chair of Trustees at St Giles Hospice, said: “We have a dynamic and highly engaged board, and we’re looking for two exceptional individuals who can bring specialist expertise in fundraising and finance to help us navigate the challenges ahead.
“With less than a quarter of our funding coming from Government sources, fundraising and financial management are absolutely critical to our ability to continue providing outstanding end of life care across our communities. These trustees will play a vital role in shaping our future strategy.”
The hospice provides specialist end of life care across Staffordshire, North Birmingham and surrounding areas, spending close to £10 million a year to deliver its services.
Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Leadership Team. They attend Board meetings and sub-committee meetings, and are expected to bring impartiality to decision making while acting in the best interests of the hospice.
The hospice is looking for candidates with an understanding of the legal duties of trusteeship, a successful track record at Board or executive level, and robust governance experience.
Applications close on 23 November 2025. For more information or an informal chat about the roles, contact Jo Lowe on 01543 432 031 or email stg.recruitment@stgileshospice.com.
