David French
Director of Finance, Facilities & IT
I have developed my career in healthcare by focusing on delivery of outstanding patient care through ensuring the organisations I have led are financially sustainable. I believe that finance is simple and built on trust – I’m transparent, open and hopefully concise with my messages.
I’ve been fortunate to be involved with some exciting projects and personally pioneered the model of cardiac Cath labs partnerships now prevalent across the NHS. I am considered a subject matter expert by global healthcare companies, but modesty prevents me from confirming this.
I’ve also been fortunate to work for, and with, a number of great organisations including King Edward VII’s Hospital, Medtronic, The Cardinal Hume Centre and Abbott and these experiences are driving me to continue to honour the reputation and long history of St Joseph’s by trying to make it even better. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to lead the Finance, Facilities and IT departments at this Hospice? Whether it’s enhancing our gardens, reducing energy consumption or ensuring our housekeepers have state of the art equipment, outstanding patient care is always the focus and fortunately that is non-negotiable at St Joseph’s.
I’m proud to be a graduate of the London School of Economics, a fellow of the ACCA body of accountants and to hold an open university MBA. My passion for Arsenal remains as strong as ever after 45 years; ditto Welsh rugby. Music is a source of inspiration to me and when I need a lift no need to look any further than Sparks’ brilliant album, Kimono My House. Every Director of Finance should have a copy.

Fr Terence Seasman
Director of Mission, Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care
I’m Father Terence Seasman, I have been working for St Joseph’s Hospice for about 3 years, I’m a Roman Catholic priest and have been so for over 30 years.
After studying philosophy and theology at Allen Hall in Chelsea for 6 years I became a parish priest in an inner-city London parish. Along with parish work I studied to be a psychodynamic therapist at Westminster Pastoral Foundation and had my own part-time practice.
I spent 8 years in the military including a tour of duty in Bosnia. I later worked as a teacher as well as a chaplain at two girls’ schools; which has been, by far, my biggest challenge to date.
I have diverse interests and particularly enjoy human development in all of its forms – physical, emotional and spiritual.
I have practiced marital arts most of my life, in my youth I practiced Judo and later on Aikidom in which I achieved a black belt in both. Now am trying to learn Tai Chi. All off which are good for body mind and soul.
