About the Organization

We are a local Hospice for south west and central London. We provide free specialist palliative and end of life care for people living in Wandsworth and parts of Lambeth, Merton, Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Richmond. We believe that every moment matters. We go above and beyond to help our patients and their families make the most of every moment they have left. We are here for our patients from the moment of their diagnosis until the end of their life, and afterwards we are here for those close to them, for as long as we’re needed. Hospice care is as much about living as it is about dying. We want our patients to make the best of every moment they have. We want to give them the time and support they need to make informed decisions about how they die. We’ll continue to be there after death, for those close to them, providing specialist emotional and practical support, no matter their age. Last year we cared for almost 2,300 people at the hospice and out in the community, in patients' homes and care homes. Our expert team also provided specialist psychosocial and spiritual support to nearly 350 people. All our services are free of charge to patients and their families. This year, we need to raise over £12 million to deliver our quality care, and supplement the funds we receive from the NHS. We rely on donations and our charity shops to raise the funds we need every year to continue our services.

Additional Benefits:

Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
