We are looking for someone who is:

· Compassionate, professional and emotionally intelligent.

· Organised and able to manage multiple priorities.

· Confident communicating with a wide range of people.

St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness. 

Established in 1989, the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves. Last year the charity supported over 4,000 patients and their families.

Our work is centred on an individual's needs, which means specialist support, whenever and wherever it is needed, whether at home, in the community or at the hospice.  Support is provided to patients and their families via the Inpatient Unit,  including outpatient’s clinics, home visits from the community nursing, medical or therapy teams, the OneCall 24/7 telephone helpline and bereavement support.

In 2023, St Elizabeth Hospice merged with East Coast Hospice to form a collaborative approach to developing achievable and sustainable specialist palliative care services for people living the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area.
