Trustees

St Ann’s Hospice in Manchester was founded in 1971.  It’s one of the oldest and largest hospices in the country leading specialist care for people impacted by life-limiting illnesses.

We continue to take inspiration from Moya Cole, one of the hospice’s founders.  She was a trailblazer in the sector and a campaigner for the right for everyone to have a good death – something we are passionate about.

We’re aiming to broaden the experience of the Board of Trustees as we continue to develop our links externally and strengthen our finances and are looking for Trustees with the following background and experience:

  • Finance – it would be helpful to have a background in Fundraising, but this is not essential
  • Digital
  • Legal

The primary responsibility of Trustees is to provide the hospice with strategic leadership and maintain good governance to ensure it is well managed and administered, and resources are used appropriately.  Trustees attend and contribute to the main Board meetings held five times a year.  Additionally, there is Trustee representation on Board sub-committees and at fundraising and other external events.

Candidates will have experience of senior strategic leadership.  Previous Board experience is desirable, but not essential.

Trustees must be able to demonstrate:

  • a commitment to the hospice and its objectives
  • an understanding and acceptance of the legal duties and liabilities of being a trustee
  • a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to their duties as a trustee
  • ability to think and apply knowledge strategically
  • ability to analyse and evaluate management information
  • ability to influence and engage
  • a willing to express their own opinion in a reasoned way, while also listening to the views of others
  • ability to challenge constructively and ask questions appropriately
  • an ability to work effectively as a member of a team

Applications must be returned to the People & Culture Department at recruitment@sah.org.uk. Applications should be in the form of a CV and Cover Letter.

To arrange an informal discussion with our Chair of Trustees, please contact Sarah Wallace, PA to the Board and Executive Leadership Team, on 0161 498 3635.

We welcome applications from everyone and are looking to increase our racial diversity.

The successful candidate will be subject to an Enhanced DBS Check, the cost of which is covered by the hospice.

Any post holder within the organisation will be expected to undertake safeguarding training appropriate to their role and adhere to safeguarding policies and procedures. All staff must work in accordance with their statutory roles and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding in accordance with the Working Together to Safeguarding Children 2023, The Care Act 2014, and Prevent Duty 2015.

Trading Company Administrator

We’re continuously developing our plans for delivering world-class, innovative care and to ensure St Ann’s is in the best shape possible for future generations.

You’ll be challenged, inspired and empowered to help us achieve our purpose and to play your part in making a difference.

Have you got what it takes?

  • Are you positive, highly motivated and able to give our retail customers excellent customer service?
  • Can you support our Trading Company team and work collaboratively to ensure we reach our collective targets?
