Working with St John’s

Dedicated staff are St John’s greatest asset in our vision of putting local patients and families at the heart of everything we do to ensure that on the journey towards the end of life, we provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

We therefore invest time and effort in creating a culture that encourages our teams to consistently achieve high standards of service. We are a charity and since opening our doors in 1986, our reputation has been built on compassionate, care and support.

St John’s therefore welcomes people who are passionate about our values of care; compassion, collaboration; charity and celebration.
