Closing Date: 23 February 2026

Rowcroft Hospice is looking to recruit a qualified accountant to join the Board of Trustees over the coming months.

Applications are invited from dynamic, enthusiastic and motivated individuals who have a corporate or commercial background in a Finance or Investment environment. 

Knowledge of the Charity sector would be an advantage.

Rowcroft is a well-respected and supported charity which has had a presence in the South West for over 40 years. It is committed to helping patients and families make the most of every moment. From Dartmouth to Dawlish, our teams provide comfort, support and a range of specialist services to care for 2500 patients with life limiting illnesses every year across South Devon. The charity is at an exciting stage of its development and has recently commenced an ambitious and challenging business plan to secure its future sustainability, ensuring it meets the changing demographic needs of the local community. Our care is provided at home, in the community and at our Inpatient Unit in Torquay. We’re committed to supporting families and carers for as long as they need us.

The present Board includes retired and working-age people with a range of clinical and business skills as well as rich life experiences. Board meetings are held four times per year with an additional small number of meetings in sub-committees.

You will represent the Hospice within the community and be an active participant in the building of strategy for the Hospice’s future development. The role of the Board is one of governance and strategic guidance, not executive management.

This is a voluntary, unpaid, position for an initial term of 3 years, renewable for up to three further 3 year terms. Reasonable travel expenses can be paid.
