Barnsley Hospice is a charity that provides specialist palliative and end of life care to hundreds of local people and those close to them each year.

As a specialist care provider, the range of skills we offer include, pain and symptom management, emotional support and end of life care. The hospice currently employs about 100 people and has a team of volunteers, based both at the hospice and within our retail hub.

We are committed to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in all that we do and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
