Kirklees West Yorkshire, United Kingdom Forget Me Not Children's Hospice Full time

Families caring for children with life-shortening and highly complex health conditions tell us their lives can feel really challenging and chaotic. Accessing and navigating palliative care or help with symptom management, dealing with multiple agencies and health professionals alongside practical issues around finances, getting the right equipment or adapting the home can be exhausting, stressful and scary.

Forget Me Not children’s hospice has been here for over 10 years, providing CQC-rated outstanding support for children and families across West Yorkshire. We are developing new ways to assess and meet families’ needs to ensure every member of each family gets the support they need at the right time. As part of our family support team, you’ll help us to pilot this new way of working.

You’ll support a caseload of families, providing information, advice, advocacy and handholding. And you’ll link families to and help them navigate tailored support, both inhouse and by collaborating with local partners. You’ll also work to build partnerships with external services, including by tapping into community groups across our region to ensure support is culturally appropriate and accessible to all.

This role supports our vision by providing holistic family centred care to babies, children and young people with life limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families within the family support team, as well as working collaboratively with external providers within local communities.
