We know that working in a Hospice can be incredibly meaningful, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Every role across our organisation contributes to the care and support we provide to patients and their families, and we recognise the importance of making sure our team feel supported too.
Staff wellbeing
Support that matters 🩷
As we mark Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re launching our Support that Matters campaign—sharing how we support the wellbeing of our staff.
At the Hospice, we know that caring for families at the most difficult time in their lives takes a whole team—clinical and non-clinical—working together with compassion, strength and resilience.
From nurses and healthcare assistants to our reception team, fundraisers and catering team, every role plays a part in supporting the people and families in our care.
That’s why we invest in supporting our staff —so they can continue to provide the highest standard of care, when it matters most.

Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter (Supporter)
Illustrating our commitment to improving practice in all characteristics of good employment.
When our staff feel supported, they can give their time, attention and compassion more fully to the people and families they care for.
This is what helps create moments that stay with families long after they leave our care.
In Dad’s final two weeks the Hospice Team became part of our family. They were there day and night — always just a phone call away.
