New year, new role?

Have you been thinking about a job change? Reflecting on your career goals for the new year? Make your move in 2026 and choose St Luke's.

When most people hear the word ‘hospice’, they picture the doctors and nurses who look after people at end of life, and – while it’s right these experts are prized for all they do for those in their care – working behind the scenes is an army of other hardworking staff, plus dedicated volunteers and of course the generous supporters, equally essential to delivering such a vital service.

Join an organisation that listens to and values their employees and offers plenty of benefits with every role.

Take a look at our current vacancies to see if there is something for you. You can also set up a job alert, to get notified when the perfect role comes along.

Happy New Year to all our supporters!

As we enter a new year we face more uncertainty with the future of hospice care. We may not know what lies ahead of us, but with your support in the year ahead we can build the foundations for the future.

Every pound you raise will help towards the £13.6 million it costs to run our hospice, ensuring that we can provide our vital end of life care to more people in our local community.

Every race you run, every week you play our lottery, every step you take at our Men’s Day Out and Midnight Walk and every donation you make will pave the way for the future of hospice care.

We never know what the future may hold, but with your help we can make sure we are there to support you.
