Make a genuine difference within our community

As a Trustee of our Board, we offer you a deeply rewarding role with the opportunity of personal fulfilment, professional development, purpose and connection through your vital contribution in shaping the future of our organisation. You will join an experienced and committed Board who provide governance, guidance and strategic direction — ensuring we achieve our mission to provide outstanding, free end‑of‑life care to everyone who needs it across Nottinghamshire.  

We are seeking committed Trustees with a variety of skills, insight and experience to support the sustainability and development of the hospice, safeguard its resources, and champion a culture grounded in our core values of Compassion, Trust and Ambition.
