Tynedale Hospice at Home is a progressive charity providing palliative and end of life care in patients homes, in the communities of Tynedale, Ponteland and West Northumberland.

Unlike many hospices, Tynedale Hospice at Home's palliative nursing care is provided in the home where the patient and their families can be surrounded by familiar comforts and can be cared for in a place of their choosing.

We offer a competitive salary, pay in lieu of holiday, a generous sick pay scheme, paid for DBS checks, funded training and development to experienced, motivated support workers who are committed to delivering high quality care to patients who are nearing the end of their lives.
