Our client is a well-respected and supported charity which has had a presence in the South West for over 40 years. It is committed to helping patients and families make the most of every moment. From Dartmouth to Dawlish, their teams provide comfort, support and a range of specialist services to care for 2500 patients with life limiting illnesses every year across South Devon.
The charity is at an exciting stage of its development and has recently commenced an ambitious and challenging business plan to secure its future sustainability, ensuring it meets the changing demographic needs of the local community. Care is provided at home, in the community and at an Inpatient Unit in Torquay. They are committed to supporting families and carers for as long as they need them.
