How to guide for Job Seekers

1. How do I find the Hospice Jobs Board?

You can browse all current vacancies on the main Jobs Board webpage.

2. Do I need an account to search for jobs?

No — you can freely browse all vacancies without registering.
The site does not currently collect candidate data or require candidate registration.

3. How do I apply for a job?

When you click Apply, you’ll be redirected straight to the employer’s own website or application portal.
Hospice UK does not collect candidate details — applications always take place on the employer's site.

4. What information will I see in each job listing?

Job listings typically include:

  • Job title and summary
  • Employer name and logo (if provided)
  • Job description and responsibilities
  • Location, salary (where provided), and contract type
  • A link to apply on the employer’s website

5. Can I save or track jobs on the site?

At present, the Jobs Board does not track candidate registrations, so features like saved jobs or application tracking are not enabled.

However, you can bookmark listings in your browser as a workaround.

6. How can I make sure I don’t miss new postings?

You can:

  • Check the Jobs Board regularly
  • Follow the Hospice Jobs Board LinkedIn Showcase Page for updates and sector-wide career content

7. How do I know a role is still active?

Jobs have defined posting and expiry dates that employers set when uploading vacancies — expired listings automatically come down after their closing date.

If a role has closed early on the employer’s website, their page will reflect it even if the job board posting is still visible temporarily.

8. What types of roles are listed?

Vacancies span:

  • Clinical roles (nurses, doctors, therapists)
  • Senior leadership and management
  • Fundraising, communications, and operations
  • Administrative and support roles

The Jobs Board brings together opportunities across the UK hospice and palliative care sector.

9. Can I contact someone if I have an issue applying?

If you encounter a problem with the employer’s application page, contact the employer directly.

If you spot an issue with a job listing itself, the Jobs Board team can help and can be reached via the “Contact Us” tab.

10. Are there blogs or resources to support my job search?

Yes! The new Jobs Board includes a blog section designed to offer:

  • Career stories from hospice professionals
  • Advice on job-hunting and career development
  • Insight into sector trends and workplace culture

Blogs will be added regularly — keep an eye on the site for new posts.

11. Can I share job listings with others?

Yes. Every listing has a unique URL that can be copied and shared directly. Some sector-based pages also generate static landing pages useful for sharing grouped roles.
