About St. Michael’s Hospice

St. Michael’s Hospice (North Hampshire) is a registered charity and provides support to people diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. It is a Hospice for adults providing invaluable palliative and end-of-life care services in North Hampshire, offering comfort, support, and dignity to those facing life's most challenging moments.

As a charity, we depend on the kindness and support of our local community to continue offering our services free of charge. It may come as a surprise, but only 22% of our funding comes from the government. End-of-life care is an essential service, not a luxury, yet it is not funded like other care services. To keep the Hospice’s services running, we need raise an additional £15,000 every day.

Our benefits

We offer a competitive salary with attractive benefits, including, free parking, life assurance, 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and an extensive health and wellbeing plan and company pension.
