A wide range of skilled staff make up the Hospice team. From nurses to fundraisers, finance officers to physiotherapists – we all work together to achieve the same goal - to make every day count.
We are committed to working together to ensure that patients and their families receive the highest quality of care and support. We have over 90 staff employed at St Cuthbert’s. Many work at our 5-acre site close to Durham City Centre and some at our nine charity shops and out in the community across the County. We have an ambitious five-year strategy and need talented and passionate people to drive this forward and help us achieve our vision.
We couldn’t achieve all we do at St Cuthbert’s without a dedicated army of volunteers who assist us in every role at St Cuthbert’s. Sharing their valuable skills and learning new ones.
