Beth feels honoured to support patients and families during such important moments.
Beth joined the Hospice in August and has now been with us for seven months as a Health Care Assistant.
She first heard about the Hospice through a friend who works here in the same role and recommended it to her. That recommendation gave Beth the confidence to apply and see for herself what makes working here so special.
For Beth, the role is deeply meaningful. Supporting patients and families during such important moments is something she feels honoured to be part of.
It’s a privilege to work here and work with people in end-of-life care.
She would absolutely recommend working at the Hospice. “I’d definitely recommend working here, it’s an amazing opportunity to work in a place like this,” she explains. While some people may assume it would be a sad environment, Beth sees it differently. “Some people may think it’s a sad place to work, but it’s so light-hearted and joyful and not depressing at all.”
When reflecting on memorable moments, Beth says there are so many that come to mind. One recent example stands out. “We recently had a christening here for a patient’s grandchild. It was amazing to be able to give them the chance to see their grandchild be christened.” She also speaks about the everyday acts of care that make a difference, from staff rallying around to celebrate birthdays to afternoon teas provided for patients and their families, always making each moment feel special.
