WE HELP CHILDREN WHO ARE SERIOUSLY UNWELL MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
Recently rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, we are here to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, rather than as patients; as families, not just as carers. Partnering with London NHS trusts, we have built a home, a community and an expert team to make that difference.
WORKSPACE AND CULTURE
Whether working in care, HR, fundraising or finance, you’ll know you’re helping to improve the quality of life and experience of death for seriously unwell children and their families.
You’ll be working with a team of talented, passionate, caring individuals who are committed to making Noah’s Ark a centre of excellence and redefining paediatric palliative care. We’re an award-winning organisation; rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
You’ll love the physical and cultural environment. The Ark is a brand new building, set in a stunning 7.5-acre nature reserve. The atmosphere is fast-paced, supportive and inclusive; here, everyone is encouraged to do their best work, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or background.

TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE ARK
Set in a stunning 7.5-acre nature reserve and run by specialists in paediatric palliative care, it’s been carefully designed to meet the needs of children at different stages of their lives. Though located just 10 miles from central London, The Ark is a haven of calm and safety.
“The atmosphere at The Ark is really positive and fun. A Children’s Hospice is quite a difficult concept for people to accept and understand, but once people come through our doors, their whole outlook changes.”
