• Growing and transforming our direct care and support  
• Delivering more practical information and support  
• Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience   

Joining our Information & Support Team, you’ll provide crucial assistance to those in need during challenging times on an as and when basis. You’ll provide personalised support by offering a compassionate ear, sharing relevant information, and directing individuals to the resources they need.   

Our Support Line Officers may not be counsellors or medically trained, but they are dedicated to delivering a professional service and providing reassurance during difficult times.  Whilst this role can at times, be challenging due to the nature of the calls, the fulfilment that comes from making a positive impact on someone's life makes this role incredibly rewarding.
