Variety and satisfaction

There are a number of long term and training roles.

Permanent Roles at the Hospice

Our firm belief for successful recruitment is to recruit for the right attitudes and to train for exact skills.

The nature of the care we provide to patients, carers and families is specialised and at East Cheshire Hospice, operates at a high standard. We can only hope to maintain that standard through a caring, compassionate and well motivated workforce.

For example, in response to the findings of the 2013 Francis Report into the failings of care at Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, we took steps to ensure that we understood and actively implemented the recommendations relevant to the Hospice. Proactive thinking like this will enable us to thrive within the increasingly changing environment of palliative care within hospices, communities and in partnership with related agencies.
