Hamelin Trust is offering an exciting new opportunity for a passionate, dedicated, and skilled Director of Care to join them in their period of growth and expansion. We have ambitious plans to develop inclusive, compassionate communities where people live the life they choose. With a history of over 40 years of experience operating in care, we provide personalised support for

You’ll have a natural ability to use resources effectively and promote a culture of personal responsibility and accountability.
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Director of Care will have the following responsibilities:
< Providing care leadership, drive, and innovation in the provision and development of our
services.
< Ensuring a culture of excellence and robust governance.
< Working with the CE and SLT on the future development of care that we provide.
< Ensuring a high quality of service user safety, experience and providing a culture of
openness, learning and innovation.
< Leading on all safeguarding aspects.
< Shaping and implementing the strategic care direction of Hamelin Trust.
< Driving research, education, and innovations regarding best evidence-based care for
individuals, families, and communities.
< Ensuring that services are developed in partnership with stakeholders.

Liz Rothschilds unique & original show combines mercurial tales and miraculous truths collected over the years from life’s finishing line.
About this event
About the show:
Outside The Box asks its audience to embrace mortality and look on the bright side of life, with a weave of untold and surprising stories, a hint of history and some pithy commentary on the funeral industry (from one who knows!).
Liz shares her unique experiences as a celebrant, burial ground owner and death cafe facilitator, these encounters are swept together in a show which has been brewing inside her for years. The result is a taboo-busting affair that expertly handles the ‘elephant in the room’ with humour and grace.
As Liz travels the country to perform, the show evolves organically to include new stories shared by its audience, widening the experience. The post-show element of Outside the Box has been fabulously popular and successful, validating the cathartic power of the show and its resonance with audiences.
If you – or someone you know – has been personally affected by palliative care, we want to hear from you.
Palliative care is treatment, care and support for someone with a complex or incurable condition, and those at the end of their life. It focuses on the quality of someone’s life, managing physical symptoms, offering emotional and practical support to the patient, their family and friends. Palliative care can take place in the home, hospital, care home or a hospice.
We’re working with Havens Hospices, St. Luke’s Hospice Basildon and District, Saint Francis Hospice and Farleigh Hospice, so your experiences will help shape the future of palliative care services for local people of all ages in mid and south Essex.
Whether cared for by a hospital, hospice or community service, we would like to know what you most wanted and needed during this time, and if there were any barriers to accessing these.
The survey will take five minutes and will be completely anonymous, unless you have more to say and would like to leave your details. You can also contact us on 0300 500 1895 if you need to access the survey in a different way.
The Movement for Good Awards is an annual platform for giving, set up by all the businesses that make up the Benefact Group.

Nominate a charity today
You can make a difference. We’re not asking for money, or any real time, just your nomination of a registered charity, not-for-profit organisation, or community interest company in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man. Anyone can nominate and that one act could potentially mean an extra £1,000 to those trying to make a difference. The more nominations a charity receives, the greater their chance of winning, so once you’ve done your part, spread the word and make it a movement!

By delivering quarterly funding and year-round support, we hope to get behind projects that are making a sustainable impact on their community.
How does it work?
The way the Aviva Community Fund works is to back small charities with forward-thinking ideas and to provide even more causes with vital resources and sustainable support.
