About Us
This is a fantastic opportunity to work at a leading Hospice who aspires to a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to care and support, whenever and wherever they need it.

We provide invaluable care and support to over 7,500 people across the five London Boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.
The work of the hospice extends beyond care to the local community. St Christopher’s Professional Learning offer continues to advance national and global leadership in palliative care through a range of impactful initiatives. Other programmes include supporting and shaping palliative care leaders of the future.
The fundraising team generates more than £10m every year, around half of which comes through gifts left to the charity as legacies. We organise a programme of appeals, campaigns and events, administer our own lottery, make applications to charitable foundations, engage with local business and support individuals who give in-memory of a loved one. This is delivered by a strong employed fundraising team, supported by a number of wonderful volunteers.

- Wants a fulfilling role where their work genuinely makes a difference.
- Enjoys a challenge, is proactive in solving problems, and is self motivated.
- Values being part of a supportive team working together towards a shared purpose.
