Sally, People Team Manager at Birmingham Hospice, has worked here for seven years.

“I love my job as it’s very varied – one day I can be meeting our new starters at our induction day, another day I can be supporting a wellbeing event and then on another day I can be testing our HR and Payroll system as part of an upgrade. There are lots of opportunities to get involved.”

“The team and colleagues are all very supportive and we really see the difference we can make in the People Team to our colleagues, volunteers and the patients we support.”

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The hospice is committed to developing a dynamic and diverse team, representative of the communities it serves. We ask you, therefore, to complete the Equal Opportunities monitoring form to help us in this aim.

We value each person as an individual – whether they are colleagues, patients, family members, carers or supporters, every person matters. We embrace diversity of culture, background and environment knowing it enriches our workplace and our relationships with our local communities. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging. We would love to hear from you, about what makes you uniquely you and how this opportunity will support you to succeed.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to enable more people from all communities to access the care of their choice at the end of life.
