We recognise that every person is an individual with different needs, preferences and abilities. We aim to reflect this diversity in everything we do, particularly when attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. We are committed to implementing policies designed to promote equality of opportunity in our employment practice.
We have a range of hospice jobs at St Margaret’s, both paid, bank and volunteering roles, in our community team, shops, In-Patient Unit, therapy teams, and fundraising department, to name just a few. Our staff tell us there are so many benefits of working for St Margaret’s, especially the reward of making each day count for patients and their families. We also offer a range of staff benefits, including a generous holiday allowance and free parking.
We welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, including those with criminal records. We have a written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders, which is made available to all applicants at the outset of the recruitment process.
Assessment will be based on the suitability of a person with the objective that no one is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements, which cannot be shown to be justifiable. We will ensure that the special needs of job applicants and employees are considered constructively, creatively, and in line with the spirit of disability legislation.
