Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care (RGP) purpose
Our purpose is to provide the quality hospice care our community needs. We support local people within Bucks and Herts who are living with a progressive life-limiting illness, enabling them to live well with illness, in the place that best suits their needs.
We provide palliative and end of life care support in four stages: Early Support, Living Well, Dying Well and Bereavement Support. Our patient services are available to adults as well as patients transitioning into adult services (16 to 25 years.) Bereavement support is offered for all ages to families of patients and those around them.
We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, as a short stay in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose-built Living Well Centre facilities. As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.
Purpose of this role
Our team at our Retail and Trading Headquarters are always looking for ways to increase income to support our patients and their families. Bainbridge House in Berkhamsted has been set up as a donation point for people to drop their donations in one easy location.

We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, in a short stay in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose-built Living Well Centre facilities. As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.
Our staff team of 340+ includes a wide range of patient-facing disciplines plus operational support based in Watford, Tring, St Albans, Chalfont St Giles and Berkhamsted. The Charity is now one of the larger UK hospice charities, reaching a GP population of 797,037 of whom 75% live in Hertfordshire and 25% in Buckinghamshire.
Looking after over 4,500 patients a year, as well as those around them, is a huge privilege, one we simply could not achieve without the incredible support of our 1600 strong volunteer workforce. Our multidisciplinary team helps people to live well and receive support in the place that best suits their needs, when they need it the most. We’re here to help the whole family cope during the most difficult of times, early in diagnosis, during a patient’s illness and, if needed, when those around them are dealing with grief and bereavement.
