We have recently set in place a new specialist palliative and end of life care service model and are seeking to develop this further by building income opportunities and value arising from the NHS Long Term Plan (published July 2025).

Are you enthusiastic, innovative/commercial and highly motivated while able to operate collaboratively at a senior level? Are you ready to join a high performing, valued and respected local charity during a challenging financial period and help us further develop our financial security and continue to support the local community?

This post is offered on a full time, Fixed Term Contract, working 37.5 hours per week (flexibility will be considered).

We provide care in communities across Surrey and Sussex which are richly diverse and we want to reflect that in everything we do. We celebrate and support difference and welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you believe in the importance of what we do, share our values and want to be a part of an outstanding team building something important, we’d love to hear from you.
