“Happy, amazing, special and fun” are perhaps not the first words that spring to mind when you think of a children’s hospice but this is exactly how our families describe our hospices. Matched by our staff feeling “proud, rewarded and making a difference” by working in this special setting, this is perhaps quite a different carers role to what you might have expected.
We provide respite, palliative and bereavement care for children with life-limiting conditions on a one-to-one basis. Having the time to build relationships with children and their families whilst they are at the hospice and between visits helps to make our roles incredibly fulfilling.
