IT / Digital Trustee - Children\'s Hospice

Naomi House & Jacksplace provide essential care and support to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions across the south of England. For over 25 years, we’ve been there for families on the good days, difficult days, and last days— helping to make the most of every precious moment together. As we embark on an exciting period of growth and investment—refurbishing our hospices, expanding our services, and strengthening our position as a regional centre of excellence—we are seeking a new Trustee with senior-level experience in digital and IT leadership. It’s a chance to use your knowledge to give back, to play a meaningful part in the next chapter of our much-loved charity, and to help us deliver outstanding care by shaping our digital transformation. You’ll work alongside fellow Trustees and a passionate leadership team to support the continued improvement of our systems—covering areas such as data governance, CRM, patient records, finance, and information systems. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who: Have held a senior digital, data or technology leadership role in a large, complex organisation (commercial, public sector or charity) Can offer strategic insight into digital change or transformation Are excited by the opportunity to bring their experience to a heartfelt cause Are new or experienced in Trustee or NED roles—this could be your first You don’t need to be a digital health expert or know the hospice world inside out—what matters most is your compassion, integrity, and willingness to support our work with care and professionalism. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back and make a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you. Why join us now? We were recently rated Outstanding by the CQC and are investing significantly across our buildings, services, brand, and digital infrastructure ahead of our 30th anniversary in 2027.
