Following the success of Sue Ryder’s Grief Kind Spaces, we are excited to be recruiting a dedicated Area Grief Kind Space Co-ordinator who will focus on developing these community drop-in services.

This role will cover the South, East, West and North Yorkshire – focusing on Leeds, Bradford, Keighley, and the individual will be expected to travel significantly across this area.
