About Oakhaven Hospice
Oakhaven Hospice provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care across the New Forest, Totton and Waterside from its Lymington base. Nurses, doctors, counsellors and therapists provide physical, psychological, spiritual and social support in the hospice and at home, free of charge. Its services include a 10-bed inpatient unit, day hospice and community nursing.
Over 600 people receive Oakhaven’s care at any one time. With 14% of running costs covered by the NHS, it depends on community support. Bereavement and wellbeing services include the Coates Centre, while its social enterprise Oakhaven Care provides paid visiting and live-in home care, donating all profits to the hospice.
Development and supervision
Oakhaven runs internal courses and funds professional qualifications, with regular opportunities for staff to discuss personal development with managers. Its staff can also take part in individual or group supervision, reflecting on their work with a senior colleague who is usually outside their line management.
Working across Oakhaven
The organisation recruits for clinical care, administrative and support roles alongside fundraising and retail. Staff and volunteers contribute across the hospice, community services, shops and events, linking the delivery of care with the local activities that help fund it.
