Hello and thank you for checking out our current vacancy.

It’s worth setting up a job alert or simply checking back in regularly because - as St Luke's continues to meet the demand of caring for more families - we're always evolving and new opportunities spring up, both clinical and non-clinical. One of them could be just what you're looking for!

We value all our people - not only our specialist doctors, nurses and social workers, but also our colleagues more behind the scenes, from our maintenance and catering staff to our fundraisers, administrators, educators and IT team. And that's just to name a few! It takes a vast variety of skills, experience and knowledge to keep our vital service running smoothly.

As an Employer of Choice, we offer our staff a wide range of benefits and rewards. Not only generous annual leave and pension schemes, but a fantastic health scheme to help towards the cost of eye tests, dental care and physiotherapy. In addition, this gives you access a GP, and counselling and practical information helplines, 24/7.

While working with our hospice is hugely rewarding, knowing you're helping us make such an important difference, we recognise it's work that can be challenging emotionally. That's why, when you join us, we'll be here to support you all the way.
