We are looking for a Trustee/Director to join the Sussex Cancer Fund Board. Bring your expertise in compliance and governance to help shape our strategies and improve cancer care in Sussex. Experience in the not-for-profit sector is welcome but not essential. See below
Trustee / Director – Governance
Since 1991, the Sussex Cancer Fund has been working together with the NHS to help make life better for cancer patients in Sussex, providing equipment, facilities and services that make a tangible difference for patients who are often on a difficult and stressful journey. We also selectively fund and enable Sussex based cancer research programs that contribute to the understanding of cancers and to improved outcomes for patients.
This is a wonderful opportunity to lead and further shape the SCF governance framework – ensuring the Board’s strategies, processes, policies and accountability mechanisms are consistently aligned with best governance practice – and to contribute to achieving our strategic goals and delivering on our annual plans.
This is a voluntary position, with reasonable travel expenses paid. It is expected the successful candidate will live in Sussex and bring a wealth of experience in governance as a business leader, in for example, the medical, care, retail or hospitality sectors, focusing on providing outstanding service to patients / clients/ customers.
Expertise in Compliance is essential – which may be coupled with a background in, for example, Legal affairs, Regulatory, Human Resources or Sustainability.
Experience in the ‘Not for Profit’ sector is welcome but not essential. We value transferable governance and leadership experience from a range of sectors. We are looking for a trustee to join our top-quality team, bringing energy, enthusiasm and commitment to this key role.
The Sussex Cancer Fund is an equal opportunity charity – all applicants will be considered without paying attention to race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin or disability.
