About us
Who we are
At Dorothy House, we provide exceptional personalised care to people in our community who are approaching death. That means we’ve got you: we’re here for our patients and their loved ones, as much or as little as they need us.
Our culture and values
We Care
- with compassion, because we believe every life is precious and we are trusted to do the best we can for our patients and families.
- for our volunteers, donors, sponsors and customers who make our work possible.
- for one another with compassionate, purposeful and authentic leadership.
We Connect
- with other health and wellbeing organisations because we believe that working together, we can achieve more for our community.
- with all of our community with openness and understanding of how they see the world, and what matters to them.
- with each other and across our organisation to deliver excellence.
We Create
- a safe space for people to openly talk about death and dying.
- a supportive work environment where our staff have the confidence to show initiative and innovate.
- opportunities to innovate, learn and develop together.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We believe that everyone has the right to be treated equally, and with dignity and respect. We want to create a culture that is inclusive, nurtures talent and allows every individual the opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential.
ED&I must be at the heart of how we recruit, train, develop and retain our people. We have created an ED&I Strategy which outlines our plans and ambitions.
