At Derian House, we are proud to provide high quality care to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, from across the Northwest, to make the most of every precious moment. We also stand alongside their families, offering comfort, support, and hope.  

Derian House is the place where you can make a real difference, as we support our colleagues and volunteers to provide this amazing service for children and families.  It's a great place to enhance and develop your career as we are committed to investing in training to support our people and their aspirations.

We are currently reviewing our 3-5 year plan and as our service develops, we have new and exciting opportunities on either a full-time or part-time basis, to work with our team who are committed to delivering the highest possible standards of care to babies, children and young people. Working as part of a small team of dedicated professionals, you have the opportunity to make a real difference to those we support and their families, in-house in our Hospice, Chorley and in the wider community.

We actively encourage ongoing professional development and have an in-house clinical education team and a dedicated clinical skills lab to enhance and improve training and competencies.

Be part of something special and help ensure that no child or family faces life’s hardest moments alone.
