St. Rocco's Hospice

Who we are

St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness.

We provide quality care and promote social, psychological and spiritual well-being for patients with life-limiting illness, and in doing so place patients, carers and families at the heart of everything that we do.

Here to help: a place of care, a tower of strength

St Rocco’s Hospice supports the borough of Warrington, a community of over 200,000 people. We provide highly specialised care – along with a wide range of services – to support those who have been diagnosed with illnesses which are terminal or life-limiting.

Many of our people are trained to a very high level, and provide services which are not readily available elsewhere in the area – working with other healthcare professionals, such as your GP or hospital.

A registered charity, dependent on your support

All of the care we provide is free for both patients and their carers. We don’t even charge for car parking. Yet only around a third of our funding is provided by the NHS; the rest comes directly from the wonderful community which we support – via fundraising activities such as sponsorships, legacies (money left in wills) and donations – and through our many shops and the hospice lottery. Without your help, we couldn’t provide the care we do.

More than just a building

St. Rocco’s has inpatient beds, provides day therapy care, living well services, a neighbourhood support service and Hospice At Home service.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The hospice operates an Equal Opportunities Policy and expects staff to commit to equal opportunity policies in relation to employment and service delivery.
Unless the nature of the work demands it, applicants will not be required to disclose convictions which are ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Having an ‘unspent’ conviction will not necessarily bar an applicant from employment or becoming a volunteer. This will depend on the background and circumstances of the conviction.
However, for hospice-based or patient-facing roles, criminal records will be checked and taken into account for recruitment purposes when the conviction is relevant.
