Job purpose

The role of Birmingham Hospice's Chief Executive Officer is to ensure all its services are delivered in accordance with the spirit and intention of the Hospice's Mission and core values and meet all the requirements of the statutory and regulatory environment.

As the charity's most senior manager, you will be responsible for the leadership and day-to-day operations and management of the Hospice. You will work with the Board of Trustees and staff in developing and implementing the charity's strategic direction.

About us

Birmingham St Mary's and John Taylor Hospices merged in 2021. Now unified under one name, Birmingham Hospice, we care for more people than ever before. Our patients are at the heart of everything we do and have been throughout our combined 157-year history. From caring for those in our Inpatient Units to providing vital day services in our Living Well Centres and supporting families with personalised bereavement counselling, we care for our community when they need us most.

We care for around 1,000 people (on average) every day – at our hospice sites, in the community, or their own homes. We are the primary provider of adult hospice care in Birmingham. We care for people with a variety of complex conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and kidney failure, as well as cancer. Our vision is a future where everyone with a life-limiting illness will live and die with dignity and in comfort. Our mission is to enable more people from all communities to access the care they choose at the end of life.

Birmingham Hospice is dedicated to collaborating with community partners to enhance the quality of care and support services we provide our patients and their families. Through strategic partnerships with healthcare providers, social service agencies, advocacy organisations, and other stakeholders, we can expand our reach, improve access to care, and address the diverse needs of our community.

By working with our partners, we can leverage our combined resources, expertise, and networks to ensure that every individual facing end-of-life care receives the compassionate and personalised support they deserve. Our commitment to building strong and meaningful partnerships is at the core of our mission to provide exceptional hospice care to those in need in the Birmingham area.
