Case Study: Princess Alice Hospice strengthens senior leadership and future-proofs care with Berwick Partners

Princess Alice Hospice fills two executive roles in 3 months with Berwick Partners

Princess Alice Hospice, a respected UK palliative care provider, needed to strengthen its senior leadership team to ensure financial sustainability and adapt to a changing healthcare landscape. To meet this challenge, the organization partnered with executive search firm Berwick Partners to appoint both a Director of Finance and Resources and a Director of People, Volunteering & Organisational Development.

Berwick Partners conducted a rigorous search process that prioritized cultural alignment and strategic capability over sector-specific experience. The successful outcome was the placement of James Clark, who drives financial growth and innovation, and Kate Summers, who leads integrated people and organizational development strategies. As a result, the hospice is now better positioned to navigate financial pressures, adapt to evolving demands, and continue its delivery of outstanding care. The CEO praised Berwick Partners for their understanding of the hospice's needs and for delivering two outstanding recruitment campaigns.
