Boston Spa, United Kingdom Martin House Full time

Martin House has been caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions from West, North and East Yorkshire for more than 30 years.

Every year we care for more than 420 families at our hospice in Boston Spa, in hospitals and in their own homes.

We also support more than 150 bereaved families each year.


At Martin House Children's Hospice we are looking to recruit new members of our Family Support team to help children and young people and their families who are living with life limiting conditions make the most of every day; and sensitively support families who are receiving end-of-life care or are bereaved.


The role


We're looking for a caring individual who wants to work with children and young people supporting them through play, art and musical activities.

You'll be based in the Hospice which is currently being extended and renovated into a new building, set in the beautiful Boston Spa countryside.

It's a place of hope, joy, play and connection, where care is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team that are both supportive and inclusive.

With talented individuals who share a passion to improve the lives of children with life-limiting conditions and their families, and those who are bereaved: we are striving to develop the very best in holistic wrap-around family support to families.


As part of our specialist palliative care team, you will care for children, young people and their families who are staying with us at Martin House, and support those visiting us for day care.

Increasing our reach across our community and providing families with choice is central to our model of care, so you may also support children and young people in their family homes and out into hospital settings.


About you


You will be a caring and creative individual with experience of working with children in a health, social or education setting looking to develop your skills and expertise in the hospice sector.


You will have excellent communication skills and want to make a positive difference to children, young people, their families, to the team you work with and for the charity.
