The Vacancy
St Peters Hospice are looking to recruit additional Palliative Care Support Workers to our Hospice at Home team providing care in the community across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. These are permanent vacancies. Full or part-time hours will be considered.
If you are a dedicated and experienced healthcare assistant/support worker with an interest in working in end of life care, we would like to hear from you.
The role of Senior Palliative Care Support Worker requires independent working in the community; applicants should have excellent communication and IT skills. You must be adaptable, reliable and highly organised to prioritise your workload effectively.
Ideally you will have experience of working with people approaching the end of their life, along with some previous experience of working in the community.
This is a role where no two days are the same and you have the chance to improve the experience of patients and families when life is at its most difficult for them.
This is a Band 3 level role; however, we do have development opportunities available in this team which would be offered on Band 2 whilst training and support is provided to reach Band 3. This can be discussed at interview if applicable.
You must have a clean driving licence, relevant insurance and access to a car for all shifts.
The successful candidate will join a cohesive and friendly team who make a real difference to patients and their families at a challenging time in their lives.
In return, we offer attractive terms and conditions including:

All applicants must be eligible to work in the UK before they apply for a vacancy and be able to provide evidence of this.
We will also require a vaccination history or evidence of immunity.
About Us
We’ve spent over 40 years helping people die in peace, and with dignity. Combining compassion with clinical expertise, we provide patients with the best possible care at the end of their lives.
We’re here for the people around our patients too – those closest to them. Before, during and after a bereavement, we provide support that’s remembered forever.
We think it’s that unforgettable support that inspires people to give back to St Peter’s. To fundraise for us. Donate. Volunteer. We’re not exaggerating when we say that we couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful supporters. We really can’t thank them enough.
We want to help many more people to die well. And we’re doing this by teaching others. As a centre of educational excellence, we share our skills with other health professionals, helping the NHS and care homes to provide better end-of-life care.
We’re here for all, for free, forever.

Life is busy and we all want to enjoy a healthy work/life balance. That’s why we offer flexible working hours, and if it’s practical for your role, we also offer hybrid working.
You can split your hours between your home and our offices in Brentry and Long Ashton. We think this is a good way to work – it gives you the convenience of working from home and the camaraderie of being with colleagues in the office.
Equity and Diversity
We want our teams to reflect the diversity of our community – and we want everyone to feel that they belong. That’s why we’ve joined ENEI: Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion. This is a UK based, not-for-profit organisation that helps employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures. We’re really pleased to have ENEI supporting us on our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion journey.
Just as we offer care to all, we welcome applications from everyone. We want to hear from you regardless of your age, disability, religion or belief, sex, race, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity.
