About Isabel Hospice
Isabel Hospice is a charity providing free specialist palliative care for adults with life-limiting illnesses and support for their families across eastern Hertfordshire. Based in Welwyn Garden City, it works through an inpatient unit, community palliative care, Hospice at Home and its Living Well service. Founded in 1982 by Isabel Last and volunteers, the hospice continues to rely on community support.
Its multidisciplinary clinical team includes nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants, paramedic specialists, counsellors, physiotherapists and complementary therapists. Alongside clinical care, family and bereavement support forms part of its work. Shops, fundraising events and corporate partnerships help finance the services that patients and families receive.
A team beyond clinical care
Clinical work is supported by administration, fundraising, marketing and retail teams. Finance, facilities and HR roles support the hospice’s departments, while the donation centre, shops and e-commerce operation sort and sell donated goods.
Staff support
The hospice describes an employee-led wellbeing forum and an Employee Assistance Programme with a 24-hour helpline. It also runs a quarterly staff recognition awards scheme.
