Job information

Hospice UK is the national charity working for those experiencing dying, death and bereavement.

We work for the benefit of people affected by death and dying, collaborating with our hospice members and other partners who work in end of life care. This is a particularly exciting time for us as we move to consolidate a ‘Digital First’ culture, both within Hospice UK, and more broadly across the hospice movement.

We know that a Digital First culture helps hospices to deliver even greater care for those who need it and we are now seeking a Director of IT and Digital Services to drive our work in this area.

For a sector populated by local, independent organisations, national leadership and development will be critical to shaping a digitally empowered future. In this pioneering role you will not only help to shape the future of the hospice movement at large, you will also ensure that within our organisation we have in place the foundations needed to achieve new strategic priorities. You can make a genuine difference.

We require an experienced senior manager with a great track record of advising on, designing and delivering technology-led transformation strategies. We will be looking to your expertise, honesty and leadership ability to inspire innovation and fresh thinking across Hospice UK and the wider movement.

You will be a persuasive and engaging champion for Digital First, and a robust, positive and solutions-oriented leader.

At Hospice UK we are actively committed to broadening the diversity of our organisation, we welcome applicants from outside the charity sector, and from all lived experience. Whatever your background, you will be a credible leader who shares our passion for doing more better.

How to apply

The post holder will be based in London. Flexible location working from home is expected until at least Jan 2022.
