Working at Severn Hospice you are given the time to care. We’re looking for compassionate and committed Healthcare Assistants to join our inpatient or community team on a flexible basis to support service delivery during busy periods and staff absence.

With your friendly, empathetic and professional approach, you will provide person-centred, holistic care, supporting patients with complex and evolving needs, enabling them to remain safely at home where this is their preferred choice. Or if working in one of our inpatient units, these benefit from a high staff-to-patient ratio allowing the space to deliver high quality care.

Joining our bank team is an excellent opportunity to maintain flexibility while gaining valuable experience in specialist palliative care.

Caring is what we do best - and that includes caring for our staff. You will work in a friendly, fulfilling and supportive environment, with access to clinical supervision, strong peer support and a culture that values compassion, respect and excellence.

Whether you are newly qualified and eager to build a strong foundation for your career, or an experienced carer looking for a new and rewarding opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
