Our Values at Work
North Yorkshire Hospice Care is clear about who we are, what we do and why we do it. It is our vision; mission and values that underpin this understanding and all three of these areas continue to evolve as we develop in response to the changing world around us.
We have re-examined our values with our stakeholders seeking to define a sense of who we are today. The result? A set of 10 values/behaviours that crystallize this thinking and act as a yardstick for our thinking and actions.
This shared set of values helps guide our decisions, actions and behaviours and is at the core of our collective aspiration to live in a community where everyone gets the care they need to live their last years, months and days with respect and dignity.
NB: This list is not exclusive or exhaustive but captures those values/behaviours currently at the top of our agenda.
Who we are
Just ‘B’ provides specialist emotional wellbeing and bereavement support to children, young people and adults across North Yorkshire and beyond, and is part of our family of services including Herriot Hospice Homecare and Saint Michael’s Hospice.
Some of our values:
We put people first
We are caring and compassionate
We are responsive
We are professional
We work collaboratively
We are accountable
