What’s it like to work here?

A hospice is a place to help people live their lives to the fullest, and to make every day count. And so, it’s also a place full of incredible staff and volunteers who are passionate about making this happen. Lots of people expect a hospice to be a sad place to work but actually it’s a vibrant place that is full of life. Working here means meeting lots of new people and helping to make memories for patients and families to cherish.

Our full clinical team consists of: consultants in palliative medicine, doctors, nurses in the IPU and in patient’s homes.
