You’ll be working with a team of talented, passionate, caring individuals who are committed to making Noah’s Ark a centre of excellence and redefining paediatric palliative care. We’re an award-winning organisation; we’ve won four national charity awards in the past two years, including ‘Charity of the Year’. You’ll love the physical and cultural environment. The Ark is a brand new building, set in a stunning 7.5-acre nature reserve.

Diversity & inclusionOur people are at the heart of everything we do. Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice is an equal opportunity employer and particularly welcomes applications from groups who are currently under-represented in our staff and volunteers. To deliver the best service to our children and their families, we need a diverse team who can bring dynamism, professionalism, energy, and tenacity to our work. Every single one of us brings something important to the organisation. There should be no barriers to us realising our potential because of who we are or where we have come from. Therefore, our work on diversity, inclusion, and creating a feeling of belonging is so important. It sets out the kind of organisation we want to work for. | | ![]() |
