Greensleeves Homes Trust is a "not-for-profit" charitable organisation providing residential care throughout the midlands, west and south of England. The aim of the organisation is to supply care and support in a way that takes into account individual needs and respects the rights of residents to continue to choose how to live their lives. The Head Office is based in London, but each individual Home retains its own character and is responsible for its residents’ day to day requirements.

Mount Ephraim House has a distinguished and aristocratic history dating back to 1606. The Home is an impressive, period building set on the top of Mount Ephraim. It has delightfully well-kept, sheltered gardens and walkways; also much of interior is classical with carved wooden ceilings and paneled walls. Mount Ephraim House has a total of 38 bedrooms.

Trustees
Greensleeves Homes Trust is a registered charity providing good quality residential care to older people. We have 16 homes across the south and east of England. We have a major programme of improvement and expansion of our homes and are also considering other plans for developing our services.

We are looking for one or two new trustees to add to our current committed and enthusiastic board. We undertook a major recruitment exercise 2 years ago and added some key functional skills to the board. As other members are now coming up to retirement, we want to recruit new members. We are happy to consider a wide range of backgrounds but are looking in particular for people who can advise us on one of our key aims of making our homes even more inviting and providing an even better service to our residents.
We would therefore be very interested in people with experience in:
- the care sector
- the hotel/hospitality industry
or similar areas.
Trustee meetings are held quarterly in London. In addition to this, we expect Trustees to visit some of our homes and attend the occasional committee or ad hoc meeting. These posts are unpaid.

If you are interested, please send a CV and brief covering letter to Kate James, the Chief Executive, at Greensleeves Homes Trust, Unit 2, Regent Terrace, Rita Road, London, SW8 1AW or e-mail kate@greensleeves.org.uk.

Kate would also be happy to have an initial discussion on 020 7793 1122.
