Us, in a nutshell
We’re committed to delivering the highest quality care and support to our patients and their families. That means we want to work with people who are pioneering, compassionate and empowering.

Why choose us
A super warm welcome, a chance to build your career and the opportunity to make a genuine impact on people facing end of life.
Who we’re after

Idris Arshad
HR & People Inclusion Partner
“Hospices are often seen as places where there’s no hope, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our working environment is really positive – everyone is so welcoming and friendly and kind.”
Emma Woodhouse
Enrichment and Conference Coordinator
“St Christopher’s is a place for life in all its forms, including death. My job is about celebrating people, supporting them, and finding out who they are. It’s not all sadness and loss, there’s joy and friendship and genuine connection.”
Sarah Kent
Associate Clinical Nurse Specialist
“You play many so parts on the wards – a nurse, a listener – and you don’t always have to say something or be someone to somebody, you just have to sit there and hold their hand and let them talk. That can be quite powerful.”
