- Excellent communication and facilitation skills.
- Experience in governance, health, social care or charity leadership is welcome — but not essential.

We want Nottinghamshire Hospice to be a place where everyone feels they belong. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds and value the different perspectives and experiences that help us provide better care. We particularly encourage applications from people who are currently underrepresented on our Board, including individuals from minoritised ethnic communities, people with disabilities, and people with lived experience.
