In the heart of North West Worcestershire, KEMP, the local hospice founded 30 years ago, serves patients and families across the Wyre Forest, Tenbury Wells and surrounding areas.  The Hospice provides a major support facility for the local community and its primary goal is to deliver specialist palliative care and holistic support for patients and their families or carers.  Hospice Staff are supported by an extensive volunteer network, as well as NHS Trusts, palliative care Consultants, Macmillan nurses, GPs and allied professions. As a result the hospice is able to develop and widen access to its services for adults and children.

• Inspire the senior management team to ensure the effective and efficient day to day financial and operational management of the charity
• Represent the Kemp Hospice externally and develop strategic relationships with the appropriate stakeholders to facilitate effective partnerships
• Ensure the contributions of Trustees, employees and volunteers are effectively co­ordinated to meet the Hospice’s objectives, both short and long term
• Provide visionary leadership to motivate employees and volunteers to ensure key performance measures agreed with the Trustees are achieved

The Candidate:

• A demonstrable understanding of, and passion for, the objectives, ethos and values of the Hospice
• Experience as a CEO of a similar sized charity and/or relevant transferable experience from outside the sector
• An established track record of successful strategic leadership, management and development
• Outstanding communication and ambassadorial skills, with the ability to inspire both external stakeholders and the wider community

It is envisaged that the key accountabilities in this important permanent role will be delivered on a three days a week, flexible, part-time basis, supported by a well qualified and experienced executive team.
