Full job description

Farleigh Hospice is a high performing organisation providing specialist palliative and end of life care for people with life limiting illness in the Mid Essex region. Our team at Farleigh has grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of the community we serve and we are looking for highly motivated Community Connector to join our team.

Help us make hospice care accessible to everyone

At Farleigh Hospice, we believe that everyone affected by cancer and life-limiting illness should have equal access to compassionate, person-centred care. Yet we know that some communities face barriers to accessing hospice support, often resulting in poorer experiences and later referrals to services.

Thanks to funding from Macmillan Cancer Support, we are recruiting passionate and motivated Community Connectors to work alongside an identified under-represented community such as LGBTQ+ communities, people with learning disabilities, or cultural and faith groups.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape a new approach to community engagement, improve equity of access to care, and ensure that the voices of local communities influence how hospice services are developed and delivered.

About the Role

As a Community Connector, you will build trusted relationships within your identified community, helping people affected by cancer and life-limiting illness to understand and access hospice support earlier in their journey.

You will work closely with community organisations, leaders, volunteers and people with lived experience to:

Raise awareness and understanding of hospice and cancer support services.
Challenge myths, stigma and misconceptions around hospice care.
Support people and families to access services and navigate care pathways.
Gather insight from communities about their experiences, needs and barriers.
Co-design community-led activities and conversations that matter to local people.
Help Farleigh Hospice learn, adapt and become more culturally responsive and inclusive.

Most importantly, you will act as a bridge between communities and services, ensuring that people's voices are heard and that services better reflect the needs of those they serve.

About You

We are looking for someone who is passionate about reducing inequalities and improving outcomes for people who may not traditionally access support.

You may come from a health, social care, community development, voluntary sector or advocacy background. What matters most is your ability to connect with people, build trust and champion inclusion.

You will have:

Experience of working with diverse communities or under-represented groups.
Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.
A strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
An understanding of the challenges people can face in accessing health and support services.
The confidence to work independently whilst collaborating effectively with partners and colleagues.
A genuine interest in listening to communities and turning learning into meaningful change.

We would particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience, strong links to local communities, or experience working with LGBTQ+, learning disability, culturally diverse or faith communities.

Why Join Us?

This role offers the opportunity to:

Be part of an innovative Macmillan-funded programme.
Make a tangible difference to people's experiences of care and support.
Influence how hospice services are developed in partnership with local communities.
Work in a values-driven organisation committed to equity, inclusion and compassionate care.
Help create lasting improvements in access, understanding and outcomes for people affected by cancer and life-limiting illness.

We offer a great working environment, a competitive pay and benefit package, flexible working and a strong team to support you.

If you require further information please view the job description here or contact the recruiting manager Nikki Tuff on 01245 457305 or email [email protected] for an informal chat.

(Please note – If we receive a high number of applications we will close the vacancy before the closing date)

Farleigh Hospice is committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is recognised and celebrated. To achieve this we welcome applications from all sections of the community. Farleigh Hospice operates a three-month probation period. Positions may be subject to DBS Disclosure. Charity Registration No: 284670
