End-of-life charity announces new chief executive

Treetops Hospice has announced the appointment of a new chief executive.

The end-of-life charity, which is a leading provider of hospice care and bereavement support, has appointed John Knight to the role.

John brings a wealth of leadership experience from across the health and charity sectors, having most recently served as chief executive at Hospice Isle of Man since 2023.

Prior to this, he was chief executive at LOROS Hospice, where he led major developments in the delivery of high-quality, compassionate care and support for terminally ill patients and their families across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland.

John said: “Being from Matlock, it’s thrilling to be coming back home to Derbyshire with my family and joining Treetops Hospice.

“Leading charities that contribute so much to their communities is, in my opinion, an immense privilege and comes with the responsibility to ensure that the highest quality care is provided in the most cost-effective way by people who are totally committed to the cause.”
