Hearts Together

Who we are

Hearts Together provide support and accommodation for patients, carers and relatives as well as for healthcare professionals and trainess. 

Our guests stay with us when undergoing treatment at one of the local healthcare facilities or when visiting a loved one who is receiving care. This can often be a very difficult time for our guests and our team work hard to provide support and help in times of need.

Our Hospital Hotel is located just a stone throw away from University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (Derriford Hospital), the Nuffield Hospital and DDRC Healthcare. We are also on the edge of a nature reserve and have views across the north of the city and local woodlands. Our most frequent visitors are the deer who our guests love.

Hearts Together is a fantastic place to work. We are a team where there is no job too big or too small for anyone and our ethos is never to watch another person struggle but to always offer our help. 

The charity does amazing work and with ambitious plans for the future Hearts Together offers great opportunities for its team and volunteers so why not come and join us!

We seek out opportunities for continuous growth and improvement, to ensure we continue to deliver high quality, forward thinking and innovative services, for the people we are here to support.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) approach to recruitment and employment is deeply ingrained in our organisational culture. We prioritise creating a diverse and inclusive workforce by actively seeking talent from varied backgrounds and perspectives. Our recruitment processes are designed to mitigate biases and promote fairness, ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates. Moreover, we foster an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique skills and experiences. Through continuous training, education, and policy reinforcement, we strive to cultivate a workplace where diversity is celebrated, and everyone can thrive and succeed.
