Making a huge impact for hospice and end of life care

Located in the heart of vibrant Kings Cross we have around 65 employees. We work with over 200 member hospices nationwide as well as a wide range of palliative care organisations and statutory bodies.

Our people work flexibly and collaboratively to deliver our outcomes. Having staff understand their individual contribution and impact is important to us. We are pleased that 92% of our staff are clear on how their impact and role contributes to Hospice UK’s wider strategy.

As a dynamic and fast moving organisation our work covers

  • Policy and advocacy
  • Communications and campaigns
  • Income generation
  • Hospice support and development
  • Operations and clinical leadership
