Find out about the wide range of end-of-life care services that we offer to patients and their families. These are designed to provide compassionate, personalised support during every stage of a life-limiting illness, in every kind of care setting, to anyone who needs it.
We couldn’t manage without considerable support from our local community. Learn about all the different ways in which you can help Prospect Hospice, for example by taking part in fundraising events, playing our lottery, or remembering us in your will. All contributions are greatly appreciated.
Prospect Hospice is a leading provider of education and training for end-of-life care in Swindon and north-east Wiltshire. We provide education and development opportunities, all of which aim to encourage learning and build confidence in end-of-life care and support.
Volunteers are central to our work, bringing valuable experience and enthusiasm to a wide variety of roles. If you’d like to help Prospect Hospice by giving some of your time, you’ll find all the information you need here, including current opportunities, volunteer profiles and the benefits of volunteering for us.
The staff at Prospect Hospice have one shared aim: to provide the very best end-of-life care to people in our community who really need it. If you’re interested in joining our team, check out our current vacancies and find out how we can support you in your career development.
A significant amount of Prospect Hospice’s income is raised through our charity shops. The success of our retail operation depends on the generous support of the local community (donating and buying goods), and the commitment of our managers and volunteers. Find out more here.
Inevitably, people find themselves facing unfamiliar practical, financial and emotional difficulties. Our skilled and experienced Family Support Team can help.
We have an experienced team of social workers who help patients, their families and their carers to adjust emotionally and practically to the impact of their illness. Our expert team provides family support, advocacy, practical planning and children’s advice, either at the hospice or in patients’ homes. They can also offer guidance on legal issues such as wills, lasting powers of attorney and signposting on issues such as parental guardianship.
The team includes our family support assistants, whose role is to support families who may be anxious about money and how they will cope when faced with the challenges they face at an especially difficult time. They ensure that people understand the benefits they might be entitled to.
