Our services
Our mission for the next five years and beyond is to close the gap in vital end of life care so that no one misses out on what they need in the final years, months, weeks and days of life, or when bereaved.
Inclusion and equity will be at the heart of all we do, ensuring everyone has the best possible end of life experience, whatever their culture, race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexuality, or disability.
We’ll design and deliver services providing the best possible care and support to people living with any terminal illness, and those close to them. And we’ll play a leading role in shaping the end of life system across the UK; driving research, influencing public policy, campaigning for positive change, and fighting for the services people need.
Our workplace
We recognise that a diverse workforce allows us to provide the best care for people living with a terminal illness.
We will show respect for all our employees and volunteers, valuing each individual's contribution, regardless of their age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, civil partnership status, disability, nationality, race, religion or belief. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all employees and volunteers.
We ensure our opportunities are available to all, and actively encourage applications from diverse and underrepresented communities. Browse our open roles to learn more about current vacancies.
We work continuously to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to make our information accessible, that individuals are treated equally and fairly and that decisions on recruitment, selection, training and career development are based on clear, objective criteria.
