Why work for us?

Our work is to ensure everyone affected by death, dying and bereavement gets the care and support they need, when they need it. Our ambitious strategy is the blueprint for how we can achieve this.

Working for Hospice UK you will have exposure to a range of high impact, national work and collaborative projects across the organisation and you can make a difference to people affected by death, dying and grief. And our work has been recognised - at the Third Sector Awards, we have won the Communications Team of the Year in 2024, and Fundraising Team of the Year in 2025.

We actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We are collaborative, compassionate, innovative and inclusive.

We'll be working with you every step of the way

From your first day at Hospice UK, and the start of your comprehensive induction programme we will support you in your role. We know the importance of proper investment in the health and wellbeing of our people and employee wellbeing is at the centre of what we do, working smarter to live better.

We have clearly defined our corporate values and hybrid working. Collaboration and learning from each other means we can be agile in the way we work. The mixture of working from home, roaming or from an office helps our people to flourish and reach their potential. We believe work is an outcome, not a place.

We aim to support personal growth by providing opportunities for formal and informal learning for everyone.
