Equal opportunities

The ethos behind our work with families is more clearly stated in the Shooting Star Children’s Hospices Care Team Philosophy and the Spirituality Mission Statement. The recruitment, selection, training, development and promotion of individuals is on the basis of their qualifications, skills, experience and performance. All employees, potential employees and volunteers will receive equal treatment regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability, trade union membership, sex, age, marital status, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. This will be reflected in all recruitment advertisements.
