Posted on September 5, 2019

Strathcarron Hospice is currently looking for volunteers to join its Council of Management.

Volunteer council members are trustees and unpaid directors donating their free time to support a cause they believe in.

Audit
Clinical Governance
Fundraising
Retail
Building and Investment

Council Members are selected through an interview process and then election at the Hospice’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The deadline for expressions of interest is Thursday 31^st October.

To submit an expression of interest, or for an informal chat about the role, please contact Strathcarron Hospice’s Chief Executive Irene McKie by phone: 01324 826222, or email: irene.mckie1@nhs.net
