Working at Trinity: at the hospice and in our charity shops

How we’ll look after you when you come to work at Trinity

From clinical to clerical, pharmacy to physio, retail to reception, every person matters at Trinity.

By coming to work with us you’ll be joining a welcoming, friendly, inclusive and dedicated team. We are united in our passion for caring for others and commitment to excellence. No matter what role you are in, your work will ultimately contribute to our patients and their loved ones receiving the best quality care.

It’s part of our mission to be true to our values and a good employer. It’s important for us to make sure our staff and volunteers are supported and encouraged to achieve their potential.

We might be the oldest hospice in the country, but we also like to think we’re one of the most forward-thinking. We are ambitious to be leaders in the hospice sector, not only as a provider of care but as an employer, and a charity to shop with, volunteer and fundraise for.
