Trustees

Shipston Home Nursing is an award-winning Hospice at Home service providing palliative care in Kineton, Wellesbourne and Shipston on Stour. Our Trustees form part of a small, dynamic team focused on delivering high-quality end of life care to adults in our community who wish to be nursed in their own homes. Trustees play an important role in the development of our service and the governance of the Charity, helping us to reach all patients and families facing difficult times. They carry the overall legal responsibility for the decisions and actions of the charity, ensuring that Shipston Home Nursing has a clear strategy, and that our work and goals are in line with the charity’s vision, mission and values. Our services are provided free of charge throughout our community and we seek Trustees with a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. If you are interested in becoming a Trustee and have clinical, income generation, marketing or legal skills, we would love to hear from you.

Remuneration: Trusteeships are voluntary and not remunerated. However, reasonable expenses will be covered.

Time commitment: Trustees are expected to attend four Board meetings per year. Where relevant, Trustees are also required to join additional sub-committee meetings which take place four times a year.

Reporting to: Chair of Board of Trustees
