Are you a caring and compassionate nurse who wants to make a meaningful difference during one of life’s most sensitive times? Would you like to join an organisation where you can grow, feel supported and truly make an impact every day?

We’re looking for experienced Registered Nurses to join us at this exciting time as we welcome our first in-patients at our brand new Hospice at the Lambert in Thirsk.

About us

Our family of services - Herriot Hospice Homecare, Just ‘B’ and Saint Michael’s Hospice - provide vital support to people when they need it most. Our vision is of a community where everyone gets the care they need, want and deserve, and you can help make that a reality.

We are an independent charity powered by local communities. Every day, we help to improve quality of life for people living with terminal illness, bereavement and mental health concerns, because our belief is that no one should suffer. Our incredible teams work together to make this happen.

Your role as a Hospice Nurse

At the heart of our patient-centred approach is a simple belief that every moment counts. Our mission is to deliver exceptional, personalised care that brings comfort, dignity, and support to our patients and those who love them.

That’s why we place just as much care into supporting our staff as we do our patients – creating a workplace where people feel valued, listened to and able to grow. If you're ready to bring comfort, dignity, and peace to those at the end of life, we would love to hear from you.

You’ll be part of a close-knit, compassionate team who…
