Dorothy House Hospice is currently celebrating 40 years of delivering exceptional care to patients and their families. We were awarded ‘Outstanding’ by CQC in 2017.  In recent years we have expanded out services vastly, and the future development of our strategy will see us extend our care to more patients and families.

Working closely with the Executive Clinical Lead Inpatient Services (ECLIPS) and the Medical Director you will be joining at a very exciting time as we are working towards the next 40 years at Dorothy House Hospice.

You will be pivotal to shaping future service provision and identifying staff resource and training requirements.
