St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness.

Since 1989, we’ve been at the heart of our community, providing compassionate care, easing pain, and helping people and their families find comfort, dignity, and meaning through some of life’s most challenging moments. Last year alone, we supported over 4,000 patients and their loved ones.

We have over 30 charity sites across Norfolk & Suffolk which includes two retail centres in Ipswich along with a community coffee hub, a café and one Zest retail outlet. Other income is produced through our e-commerce sites, furniture operation and retail events.

St Elizabeth Hospice is committed to safeguarding and protecting the adults and young people that we work with and has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse, neglect and discrimination of any person. As such, all posts are subject to a rigorous safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We have a range of robust safeguarding policies in place which promote safeguarding across the hospice and staff are expected to undertake regular, mandatory safeguarding training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond to potential risks.
