Barrydale Hospice jobs and careers

About Barrydale Hospice

Our basic palliative nursing care is available free to all community members in their homes. We serve Barrydale and the surrounding farms in the Overberg and Klein Karoo. Our Community Health Programme uses an integrated approach to provide our rural community with increased access to health, increased health literacy on communicable and noncommunicable diseases and practical learning workshops. It is a supportive and complementary service to the overburdened public health service. Barrydale Hospice works to strengthen efforts for early detection, prevention, treatment adherence and self management. We provide screening, testing, monitoring and referral. We also deliver deepened health literacy support and practical adaptation workshops for lifestyle change to improve health outcomes. We go directly to our patients and beneficiaries due to their transport and resource limitations – in underserved locations around Barrydale and the surrounding farms in the Overberg and Klein Karoo.
