About Us
We’ve spent over 40 years helping people die in peace, and with dignity. Combining compassion with clinical expertise, we provide patients with the best possible care at the end of their lives.
We’re here for the people around our patients too – those closest to them. Before, during and after a bereavement, we provide support that’s remembered forever.
We think it’s that unforgettable support that inspires people to give back to St Peter’s. To fundraise for us. Donate. Volunteer. We’re not exaggerating when we say that we couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful supporters. We really can’t thank them enough.
We want to help many more people to die well. And we’re doing this by teaching others. As a centre of educational excellence, we share our skills with other health professionals, helping the NHS and care homes to provide better end-of-life care.
We’re here for all, for free, forever.
The Benefits
If you join our clinical team, we offer NHS Agenda for Change benefits such as:
There are many benefits to working at St Peter’s including:
Life is busy and we all want to enjoy a healthy work/life balance. That’s why we offer flexible working hours, and if it’s practical for your role, we also offer hybrid working.
You can split your hours between your home and our offices in Brentry and Long Ashton. We think this is a good way to work – it gives you the convenience of working from home and the camaraderie of being with colleagues in the office.
Equity and Diversity
We want our teams to reflect the diversity of our community – and we want everyone to feel that they belong. That’s why we’ve joined ENEI: Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion. This is a UK based, not-for-profit organisation that helps employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures. We’re really pleased to have ENEI supporting us on our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion journey.
Just as we offer care to all, we welcome applications from everyone. We want to hear from you regardless of your age, disability, religion or belief, sex, race, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity.
