At Nottinghamshire Hospice, we’re proud to lead the way in delivering compassionate, community-based palliative care for people living with a terminal or life limiting illness across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Our values—Compassion, Trust and Ambition—guide everything we do, for the people we support and for each other.
About the role:
Nottinghamshire Hospice is seeking a compassionate and creative Arts & Crafts Group Facilitator to lead our community-based Compassionate Arts & Crafts Group sessions. These welcoming and inclusive groups provide opportunities for people to connect, express themselves creatively, and build supportive relationships through art and craft activities. Many of the people attending may be bereaved, caring for a loved one, living with a life-limiting condition, or experiencing social isolation. The facilitator will create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment where individuals feel valued, heard and encouraged to participate at their own pace.
This role is ideal for someone with experience in facilitating a variety of creative arts and crafts activities and a genuine passion for supporting people with kindness, empathy and compassion.

You don’t need to meet every desirable criteria — we recruit based on values. If you’re compassionate, reliable and eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you.
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging:
We want Nottinghamshire Hospice to be a place where everyone feels they belong. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds and value the different perspectives and experiences that help us provide better care. We particularly encourage applications from people who are currently under‑represented in our workforce, including individuals from minoritised ethnic communities, people with disabilities, and men.
