About Ty Hafan
Ty Hafan is one of the UKs leading paediatric palliative care charities and offers care, respite and dedicated support to children and young people with life-shortening conditions across Wales. Support is provided to children and their families at our hospice in Sully, in community settings, and in the family home. As a charity we greatly value the input, contribution and commitment of our many volunteers and supporters, without whose support we would not be able to provide the services that we do. Our families describe us as a lifeline as we enable them to create precious memories with their children during their short lives, as well as end of life and beyond.
At Ty Hafan our care team is dedicated to upholding our vision, purpose, and values, all of which are at the core of all that we do.
Our Vision, A Wales where every child with a life-shortening condition lives a fulfilling life, supported with the compassion and specialist care they and their family need.
Our Purpose, No family should have to face the unimaginable loss of their child alone. With children and families at the heart of all we do, we provide free care and support in our hospice and in the community, offering a lifeline throughout the childs short life, at end of life, through bereavement and beyond.
Our Values, Demonstrating compassion, Providing excellent service, Working together and Taking ownership.
At Ty Hafan our team is very supportive and inclusive, we value individual differences, and understand experience can come from many avenues, therefore it is not essential to have previous experience working in a palliative care environment. Palliative care is defined as the total care of individuals from diagnosis of a life-shortening condition, beyond transition into adult services, or in providing extensive bereavement support. It is important to remember that paediatric palliative care is so much more than just end of life care, Ty Hafan holds enhancing quality of life at its very core.
