Directors and Staff

Greville says: 'It has been both a privilege and a joy to be involved in the creation of Guernsey's Hospice. Having already lived in Guernsey for some 10 years, Lisa - who had the idea first -and I believed Guernsey needed a Hospice - though the Powers that be at that time disagreed. With construction as my background, I personally paid for the purchase and the redevelopment of the Open Market Property Les Bourgs into Andrew Mitchell House. Having spent time in some 8 Hospices on the Mainland, I co-ordinated the design, project managed the Development and paid the first years running costs becoming the Hospices first Chairman. Subsequently the old Andrew Mitchell House was given to the people of Guernsey for the site of the New Hospice. In the meantime I remain a Trustee and will continue to support the Hospice going forward in any way I can' Lisa says: 'It was a joy to be involved in the creation of the original Andrew Mitchell House and for many years I enjoyed frequent visits to play the piano. Originally a Governor I am now Administrator of the Hospice Store and have been involved with the Store since it began. I continue to be an active supporter of the Hospice and enjoy visiting and meeting with the Day Patients.'

I joined the Hospice in the mid nineties as a Governor and joined the Management Committee at that time. I am the Chair of that Committee that provides support to the Hospice Director in the day to day issues that arise in the non-medical aspects of running the “business” of Les Bourgs Hospice. In particular, given my retail background, I have been involved in the retail activities of Les Bourgs which has become such a valuable source of funds to the organisation. I am married to Helen and we have 3 children and currently 4 grandchildren. Helen is from Melbourne, Australia and our daughter, husband and 2 of our grandchildren are now “downunder”. Holidays are now spent visiting that wonderful country. I am a keen golfer and tennis player (but not much good and either!) and try to play both regularly

I was introduced to Jo and the staff at the hospice through a friend. I started doing some bank work as a Band 5 nurse and soon realised that this is why I decided to do my nurse training. It is a privilege to be able to look after patients and their families, to give them the support, reassurance and care that they deserve. A post became available as the nurse manager and I applied for it. Since then I have not looked back. Working at the hospice enriches my life. It is a pleasure every day to come to work and know that the nursing team we have are here because they want to be here and will give their best for the patients and their families. I have been able to continue my development and will be completing a 2 year diploma course in counselling in May 2013. With this learning experience we introduced a further bereavement follow up service for relatives and friends.

My background is in secretarial and marketing within the legal sector and, having taken a career break to have my two children, I was keen to look for something a little different and more rewarding. As soon as I saw the Volunteer Co-ordinator post come up, I knew it was for me. I was right; it is a wonderful place to work and I love being part of such an amazing team of staff and volunteers. My role is to support our fantastic group of dedicated volunteers, both at the Hospice and at our shops in St Martins. I am really enjoying getting to know them all, as they each bring with them a unique set of skills which are invaluable to the Hospice. Anyone can volunteer so please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to know more about what we do here at the Hospice.
