Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…
At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 25 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.

- Undertake laundry, cleaning and housekeeping activities
- Ensure high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and safety
You will be based at our Warwick hospice, however, you may be expected to travel to Coventry or Rugby on occasion.

About you
We would love to hear from you if you have:
- Kitchen Assistant, Catering or Housekeeping experience

However you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, we welcome you to apply. If there are any adjustments that would help improve your experience with Myton, we encourage you to share this with us.
We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from ethnic minorities, who are currently under-represented in our hospices. We also believe our interview process should be inclusive and transparent. If there is anything missing, or a way we can improve, please do let us know.
