Nursing ratios
Staffing ratios on the wards are generally higher than in the NHS. We aim to maintain a higher proportion of qualified staff. This ensures that staff have more time to interact with patients, carers and their families, and are able to offer higher quality nursing care.
Pensions
As a member of St Elizabeth Hospice staff, you have the option to join our Personal Pension plan, or if you have previously been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme then you will have the option to remain in this scheme and the Hospice will pay the employer's contributions. The St Elizabeth Hospice Personal Pension plan is a contributory scheme, with staff choosing a minimum personal contribution of 5%.
Dining room
We have a dining room where staff are offered a choice of quality food, ranging from a three course meal to sandwiches. This food is of a very high standard and is sold at subsidised prices.
