"Your high level admin and leadership skill is required"
As part of our CSR Programme, the Valcol Group wishes to assist in the search and selection of applicants to be considered for the
role of Executive Director for Island Hospice.
The hospice is a non profit making organisation and offers support and counselling services to the public. It is supported by many
volunteers who give up their free time on a daily basis. Our client seeks a high level administrator to run the association and
develop new funding initiatives through private and corporate support and placement to meet operational expenses.
You must have worked in a high level administrative role with strong leadership skills across operations. Previous experience from

need and call to serve your community is a main priority in life. A visionary person is required to build the hospice and services. You
would be supported by a dedicated permanent and volunteer work force.
