Complementary Therapist

This role matters: This is a unique opportunity for a registered Complementary Therapist with an Oncology Massage qualification to join St John's Hospice and make a real difference to the lives of people living with life-limiting illness.

As part of our Community Wellbeing team, you'll use your specialist skills to provide holistic, person-centred therapies that support physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing.

Working in the Hospice, in patients' homes and across our North Lancashire and South Lakes community, you’ll deliver complementary therapies that help people build confidence, maintain a sense of control and focus on what is meaningful to them.

We're looking for someone who is compassionate, organised and committed to delivering person-centred care. Could you use your specialist skills to help bring comfort, calm and connection to those who need it most?

Our Community Wellbeing service works closely with our experienced and dedicated clinical teams, as well as wider district nursing colleagues, to ensure people receive timely and appropriate complementary therapies. We are proud that our specialist palliative services extend beyond symptom management to support the whole person.

It is essential that you have a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (with business insurance) during working hours. You will be entitled to claim out of pocket expenses (mileage and parking) in accordance with our policy.

If you want a role with real purpose, where every day you can use your professional skills to support people at an important time in their lives, we'd love to welcome you to our team.

Informal enquiries are welcome, please get in touch!
