Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Healthcare is looking for a new Chief Executive with the professionalism, vision, credibility, commitment, resilience and leadership qualities to ensure that the charity continues to deliver the highest level of quality care for the community of North Lincolnshire and East Riding.

At Lindsey Lodge Hospice, we provide specialist palliative care to local people and families living with life limiting illnesses and have been central to specialist End of Life care provision to our community for over 30 years.

Care is not only for those in the last months or days of life but aimed to help those from diagnosis of a life limiting condition to live well and have a good quality of life in the community, managing symptoms of disease progression. Families and carers are integral to the care, and our model aims to understand needs and support appropriately, particularly with pre- and post-bereavement support.

We work closely with the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board,  primary and secondary care and social care colleagues and the Collaborative of  six independent hospitals covering the regional ICB.

We work in a changing and challenging operating environment, but through our expert and highly committed team, and an openness to development and collaboration, we are very well placed to continue our track record of growth and development. Our CE will lead this work, providing dynamic, high-level strategic and operational leadership and management with an emphasis on ensuring the highest standards of specialist palliative and end of life care at the heart of all activities.
