About Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care:
Phyllis Tuckwell is an independent Hospice Charity based in Farnham, Surrey. They offer specialist palliative care in a compassionate and friendly environment. They aim to provide equitable supportive and end of life care to those with an advanced or terminal illness and to their families.
Their services help around 2,000 people each year and include a 10 bed In-Patient Unit, day care centre, outpatient appointments, and a community service including the Hospice Care at Home team. They are in the middle of an exciting project to build a new 18-bedded Hospice so they can care for thousands more people. The new Hospice is due to open in Spring 2026.
About the Trustee Opportunity:
Phyllis Tuckwell is currently seeking to appoint a Trustee who has:
- a clear understanding of our mission to put the patients and their families at the centre of any decisions made.
- compassion with a respect to the nature of Palliative care.

- strategic thinking for the charities long-term aims.
- integrity so that decisions made by the Board are in the best interest of the Charity.
- good governance to ensure we comply with our legal and ethical goals and

The Board usually meets 4 times a year, with an additional annual Strategy Away Day with the Senior Management Team. Trustees are also expected to sit on at least one of the quarterly sub-committees and are encouraged to play an active role in the life of the Hospice including things like: attending fundraising events, joining in with staff and volunteer events, working alongside the senior team to act as a sounding board.
