Welcome from the Chair of Trustees

Thank you for your interest in the role of CEO with East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). Please find to follow further information regarding the organisation that we hope you will find interesting and informative about who we are and what we have to offer.

We are looking for an exceptional person with the vision, passion and commitment to lead the charity forward, further developing and implementing our next five-year strategy and building on the achievements of the recently retired CEO, Graham Butland.

The successful candidate will have proven leadership skills, have managed a complex organisation and be able to demonstrate sound business and people management experience, backed by excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

EACH’s primary focus is on meeting the needs of babies, children, young people and their families, working alongside them as they face incredibly complex, health, social and emotional issues. It is the largest provider of children’s palliative and end of life care services in East Anglia, delivering a comprehensive range of multi-professional community and hospice-based services. It is committed to excellence and innovation and building effective partnerships to deliver its goals.

As an ambitious multi-faceted charity, with substantial retail and fundraising divisions, alongside our care provision, the charity faces significant challenges as it strives to improve services, recruit and retain staff, and reach more children and young people in need of our specialist services.

If you have the ability, experience and drive to manage this highly valued and successful organisation and have the strategic and leadership skills to take it to the next stage, I would welcome your application for the post of CEO.

Thank you again for your interest in EACH.

John Pickering
