Would you consider bringing your skills, knowledge and experience to the Board of a dynamic and innovative organisation, passionate about supporting people living with a serious or terminal illness in the London Borough of Hillingdon and surrounding areas.
We have reached an exciting stage in our development. Harlington Hospice (HHA) and the Michael Sobell Hospice Charity have recently merged, and our combined clinical and fundraising strengths will ensure that everyone who comes to us can be supported to shape their own care. At Harlington Hospice Association we believe that, even when confronted by the reality of death, everyone can still live each day to the fullest. We are here, alongside our community, in their time of need.
Our current focus is on shaping our ambitious strategic plans to deliver even greater services to patients and families and to improve equality, diversity and inclusion across our governance and leadership structure, our workforce and our wide range of services.
Trustee Opportunities
We are looking for four new Trustees to help develop and oversee our current strategic plan for 1 or 2 days a month. We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills though we are particularly seeking people with these broad skill sets below.
