About us:

At Tŷ Hafan we are experts at caring for children with life-shortening conditions and our services support families in our hospice, in community settings, local hospitals and in families' homes. We understand that the needs of each child and their family are unique and we know that caring for a child with a life-shortening condition is often extremely demanding. Tŷ Hafan's ambition is that when a child's life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Sadly, we know that thousands of families in Wales are struggling alone through fear, exhaustion and uncertainty that comes with caring for a child whose life will be short. We believe that no family should have to live this on their own and we are determined to walk alongside every family through life, death and beyond.

Our Vision: A Wales where every child with life-shortening conditions lives a fulfilling life, supported with the compassion and specialist care their family needs.

Our Purpose: No family should have to face the unimaginable loss of their child alone. With children and families at the heart of all we do, we provide free care and support in our hospice and in the community, offering a lifeline throughout the child's short life, at end of life, through bereavement and beyond.

Our Values: At Tŷ Hafan we make a difference by living our values which are Demonstrating Compassion, Providing Excellent Service, Working Together and Taking Ownership.

If you are interested in an exciting new career challenge and share our aim of providing specialist and compassionate palliative care to children, then Tŷ Hafan could be the place for you. We would love to hear from you.
