Perhaps you’re working in palliative care already - or you might bring strong health equity expertise from another speciality.
Either way, you’ll become part of a close, 17-strong Programmes Team at Hospice UK. We work together and alongside external experts, to design and deliver evidence-based programmes, projects and events, which help hospices provide the very best care in their communities.
