Trustee

Revitalise ,
London, Greater London
Job Type: Part-time

Overview

Revitalise is a national charity providing respite care in a holiday setting for disabled people and carers for over 50 years. Currently running three accessible holiday centres in Essex, Southampton and Southport, we also offer inspirational opportunities for volunteers through one of the largest and most diverse volunteering programmes of any UK charity. We are a complex and interesting business, that also happens to be a charitable company. The breadth of activities the company is involved in includes sale of holidays, provision of medical care, management of an extensive volunteer programme, maintenance of hotel properties, and the operation of a chain of charity shops. We aim to provide a break that feels like a real holiday, offering wonderful hospitality, combined with 24-hour nurse-led care, for people living with a wide range of conditions. We are looking to appoint two outstanding and influential Trustees to our Board, who bring established strategic leadership experience in Health and Social Care. As a Trustee, you will provide sound expert guidance and advice to the Board and ensure the charity sets the highest standards in the care of our guests. A senior, registered healthcare professional, who comes from a medical, nursing or social care background, you will offer both support and challenge as a member of the Board helping us ensure we establish a new benchmark of excellence in care, which seeks to set the standard across the sector. This is a challenging time for the sector and at Revitalise we want to influence change rather than simply react to it. All our Trustees demonstrate excellent communication skills and the confidence to speak their own mind, sharing knowledge for the benefit of the charity and its guests. They also show excellent governance skills and have a combined goal of ensuring all our guests have the best, and safest, experience. Trustees are expected to attend a minimum of 4 Board meetings and 3 Guest Experience Committee meetings per year. To apply, please visit our website via the button below. For an informal confidential conversation about the role please contact Katy Giddens or Mark Crowley on 020 3971 0831. Closing date is Wednesday 15 th April 2020.
