London, United Kingdom Richard House Children’s Hospice Full time

Job summary

Richard House Childrens Hospice, based in East London, provides palliative care to children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions across London. From the moment a child is diagnosed with a life-limiting, life-threatening or complex health condition everything changes. These changes affect the whole family, which is why we feel it is vital not only to provide care to the child but to support the whole family and to help families choose when, where and how they receive care. Join us and make a real difference.
