AD Hoc Palliative Support Worker

We are recruiting for adhoc palliative Support Workers to join our Hospice at Home bank staff.

Various hours and shifts will be available, sometimes at short notice.

Applicants need to be a vehicle owner with full clean driving licence.

Employment will be subject to an enhanced DBS clearance.

Successful applicants will be interviewed at the Hospice at a mutually convenient time.
