Support Services
The welcoming atmosphere at Ashgate is very much created by our network of staff working front of house and behind the scenes. They provide much needed support throughout the Hospice in a wide variety of roles which include:
|
|
 |
Housekeeping Thanks to our housekeepers' hard work, the Hospice is kept at a very high standard of cleanliness and hygiene, critical to all of us. |
 |
Steward, Drivers, Caretaker & Groundsman The successful running of our Hospice very much depends on this team which provides an extensive range of services from general maintenance and repairs, security, transportation of patients and equipment - and a myriad of other work too exhaustive to list! Our grounds, gardens and courtyards offer quiet seclusion for patients and visitors and the sympathetic planting provides colours and fragrances that change with the seasons. |
 |
Catering Good food is an important part of life and our team of Chefs and Catering Assistants prepare excellent cuisine for the In-Patient Unit and Day Centre. They cater for all dietary requirements and are proud of the presentation, quality and choice of their meals. As well as patient meals, they prepare tasty snacks for staff and visitors and these are available from the vending machines. |

Administrative and Finance Team
Behind the scenes there are dedicated and hardworking teams providing administrative, text processing, secretarial support to various departments, clinical professionals and non-clinical staff. The Finance Team are responsible for accounts, supplies and payroll. Support staff and ward clerks welcome all patients, visitors and staff to the Hospice and together with the volunteers who work alongside them, respond to all enquiries with a friendly and caring approach. |
