Treetops Hospice, a leading provider of hospice care and bereavement support in central and southern Derbyshire, is delighted to announce the appointment of John Knight as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

John brings a wealth of leadership experience from across the health and charity sectors, having most recently served as Chief Executive Officer 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.

There can be few if any better ways to be employed.”
