We recognise that being a diverse and inclusive organisation will enable us to achieve our vision of a kind, resilient and empowered community.
The role:

You will also have the confidence to lead and support others (including allocating tasks, monitoring progress and coaching where needed), with a willingness to undertake further training.
If you join our team, you will be part of an organisation working to improve end-of-life care for all. This is a welcoming place where your contribution is valued, and where you can deliver work you will feel proud of.
