We are Katharine House Hospice, and we’re dedicated to providing compassionate care to people and their families in our community affected by progressive illnesses. Everyone here plays an integral role in making this possible.

You will be a main point of support for patients, their families, carers and colleagues.

You will be confident in taking the lead at multidisciplinary team meetings, engaging in discharge discussions and holding the medical team accountable for their role in projecting discharge dates. Outside of the organisation, you will foster close relationships with key referrers and promote the Hospice to help widen our reach to more patients.
