Social Workers - St Peter's Hospice

The Social Work Team

Our social workers help patients, families and carers with a range of social and practical issues. You can see them if you are being supported at home, as an inpatient or through our day service. Our social workers can help by:

supporting people at risk
supporting carers
responding to benefit enquiries
applying for grants
dealing with housing concerns
talking through home care and nursing home options
providing general advice on wills
liaising with other agencies, such as Social Services advocacy

Many families and carers find that while taking care of a loved one is an important and rewarding time in their lives, it can also be very draining and distressing. It can be really helpful to talk things through with a social worker as they may be able to find practical ways of helping you as well as offering emotional support.

Carers support line

If you are a carer, our social work team can be contacted whether you just need to talk, or need advice on accessing services.
