We are looking for a compassionate, committed and professional Family Support Social Worker to join our very special team of knowledgeable and experienced palliative care clinical staff. This is a unique opportunity for the right person to use their social worker skills and commitment to the work of the Hospice to support patients and those important to them.

Working within our Family Support team you will give emotional and psychological support to patients and their loved ones on the inpatient ward and in day services. We are proud that our care is not only about managing symptoms but about supporting a holistic approach to patient-centred palliative care. If you are looking to take on a role where every day you can see the difference you have made to peoples’ lives, come and join us.
