We have an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team in a community-focused, National Lottery Community Funded role, designed to make a difference in the lives of marginalized communities.

As a key member, you will engage with diverse communities, providing them with valuable resources and practical sessions tailored to enhance their capabilities in handling bereavement, end-of-life care, and long-term caregiving.

St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness.

Established in 1989, the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves.

Through medicine and therapy, they ease pain; give life purpose and make life liveable. Last year the charity supported over 4,000 patients and their families.

The hospice's work is centred on the individual's needs and they provide specialist support wherever it is needed; whether that is in the home, another setting in the community, in hospital or in the hospice itself.

Support is provided to patients and their families via the Inpatient Unit, the Community Care Unit including outpatient's clinics, home visits from the community nursing, medical or therapy team, the OneCall 24/7 telephone helpline and bereavement support.

In 2023, St Elizabeth Hospice merged with East Coast Hospice to form a collaborative approach to developing achievable and sustainable specialist palliative care services for people living the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area.
