Volunteer Stories

Are you passionate about making a difference and shaping the future of St Peter's Hospice as a Trustee? Or have you ever considered supporting us as a Co-opted Committee Member?

We're currently seeking a Trustee with HR expertise to join our Board and help guide our strategic direction. We're also seeking a healthcare professional to join our Clinical Services Committee as a Co-opted Committee Member.

Become a Trustee

As a Trustee, you'll have expertise in HR and want to use your skills to make a real impact, influence positive change, and help us deliver our vision for the future.

You will:

  • Contribute to the governance and oversight of the organisation.

  • Provide a strategic perspective on HR matters, including workforce planning, policies, and compliance.

  • Support the Board in ensuring best practice in people management and organisational development.

What we're looking for:

  • Someone who will bring energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board

  • Proven experience in HR leadership or senior advisory roles.

  • Strong understanding of employment law, HR strategy, and organisational culture.

  • Experience in improving equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace

  • Commitment to our mission and values, with the ability to work collaboratively.

The role is voluntary, with a commitment of approximately 4-6 hours per month.

To apply, please send your CV and a short statement of interest to Sally Evans (Secretary to the Board) Sally.Evans@stpetershospice.org Or to arrange an informal conversation with our Chair.

Become a Co-opted Committee Member

As a Co-opted Committee Member (CCM) on our Clinical Services Committee, you'll have nursing expertise and want to influence positive change, share your expertise, and help us deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care. This is an exciting opportunity to bring your skills and experience to help shape and oversee our clinical services.

A CCM is not a board member but an opportunity to contribute your specific professional expertise without the commitment or responsibility of a full trustee.

You will:

  • Provide independent advice and scrutiny on clinical governance and service delivery.

  • Support the committee in ensuring high standards of patient care and compliance with best practice.

  • Bring your professional insight to inform decision-making and strategic planning.

What we're looking for:

  • A proven commitment to improving palliative and end-of life care

  • A senior registered nurse with experience in clinical practice and healthcare leadership.

  • Strong understanding of clinical governance, patient safety, and quality improvement.

  • Commitment to our mission and values, with the ability to work collaboratively.

  • Knowledge of the national healthcare landscape

The role is voluntary, with a commitment of approximately 4 meetings per year.

Closing date: Monday 2 February 17:00
Interview date: Monday 9 February - morning
