We are looking for a positive and enthusiastic individual to join our Catering & Housekeeping team on a permanent contract. The ideal candidate should be able to deliver excellent customer care and have experience of working within a catering and cleaning environment.


Experience in catering and housekeeping is essential; and a Basic Food Hygiene certificate would be an advantage; however, role specific training will be given. This post will require you to work on a rota basis within the housekeeping or catering departments. Duties in the kitchen will involve food preparation, general kitchen duties and serving patients and their families. Housekeeping will require you to undertake general cleaning duties to comply with our infection control policy.


This role would suit somebody who wants a job where they can make a difference. The Hospice of the Good Shepherd is a respected provider of palliative care for residents of Cheshire West and Chester and Deeside. We provide services free of charge to patients and families facing life limiting illnesses.


You will be joining a busy, motivated team where collaboration and adaptability are key. The role requires a flexible approach to working hours, including a rotating schedule of early and late shifts. Early and late shifts will support the operational needs of the Hospice and ensure exceptional service delivery.

The Hospice is a great place to work and volunteer. Based in Backford, Chester (with retail shops in Chester and Ellesmere Port), the Hospice provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care in a welcoming and compassionate environment.


Our specialist team of medical and nursing staff deliver end of life care to our patients and support their families, carers and friends but our services are varied across a number of disciplines and reflect the diverse nature of our care and support.

We also have a large number of Volunteer roles in all these service areas. We have been supported by our volunteers ever since the hospice was established and we now have over 400 people contributing their time in so many different ways. Every hour volunteered allows us to continue providing specialist care and we are always welcoming applications for new volunteers so please get in touch.
