About the Hospice
This Hospice supports over 3,000 people each year in Tees Valley who have been affected by terminal illness to make the most of every day, ensuring they receive the best possible care catered to their individual needs. They do this through offering outreach, inpatient care, a wellbeing centre, bereavement support and a Lymphoedema Clinic. They aim to support people to stay as independent as possible for as long as possible, and they bring people together to ensure that everyone gets to live well until the very end.
Founded by local people, the hospice focuses on the Tees Valley area, primarily in Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland. They understand the lives, community and culture of the local area, and are well placed to provide effective and individual care to those they support. The hospice lives by their values of being accountable, trustworthy, principled, skilled and compassionate, and are looking for whoever joins the charity to have these values too.
