We are passionate about hospices and the vital care they provide to people across the UK with life limiting illnesses. Often challenging but hugely rewarding, we understand that working for a hospice offers the opportunity to be part of a supportive multi-professional team and make a real difference to improving the quality of life to those who need care.
The key to our success is all in the approach. We are committed to working in partnership with both our hospice clients and candidates to deliver a service of the highest quality. It’s about carefully matching the right person and skills to the right role and charity. We understand the hospice sector, we understand our candidates and we understand our clients too.
So whether you are searching for a new events fundraiser, philanthropy manager, trust fundraiser, marketing manager, digital marketing specialist, director of fundraising or CEO we are best placed to help you find great candidates.


“I have worked with Aquilas for a number of years and have always been impressed by their approach to recruitment. The time taken in understanding the brief, has meant that candidates submitted to us for a variety of posts at varying levels of experience, have always been of a high standard and we have gone on to recruit for every post we have placed with Aquilas.”
