St Luke’s Hospice – Caring for Harrow and Brent. St Luke’s Hospice cares for people approaching the end of their life in Harrow and Brent. We aim to give the people we care for the best possible quality of life, every day. Supporting local people and their families is at the heart of what we do – focusing on what matters the most to them is at the center of our care.
The care we give is free of charge, available to all, and respects the cultures, religions, and beliefs in our richly diverse community. Our care is given with compassion and dignity and involves not just looking after the patient, but also includes supporting the people closest to them.

* Shape our long-term vision for the hospice, engaging with patients, families, and local health and social care stakeholders to strengthen the hospice’s role in the community.
* Act as a key contributor to the hospice’s wider strategic goals.
This position involves working collaboratively across departments to promote a seamless patient experience and participating in the clinical on-call rota. The post holder will also deputize for the Director of Clinical Services in specific clinical areas and during their absence.
