About The Shakespeare Hospice
The Shakespeare Hospice, based in Stratford upon Avon, offers a diverse range of services to patients, and their families/carers across South Warwickshire and surrounding areas. The Hospice is not just about end-of-life care, we provide support and compassion alongside our patients and their families throughout their journey from diagnosis through to treatment, and survivorship.
Patients and their families can access one or more specialised services; day hospice, hospice at home, adult and children’s counselling for pre and post bereavement, and provide spiritual, emotional, and complementary therapies. We pride our offer as one that is all inclusive and embraces not only the patient but their complete support system, family, and loved ones.
About the Role
The Shakespeare Hospice is seeking an experienced Business Support Manager to play a key role in supporting our operational resilience and strategic ambitions.
