Sky diver Pippa Williams hopes other nurses aim high like her by joining East Cheshire Hospice.
Macclesfield-born Pippa raised almost £900 when she leapt out of a plane over Shropshire in a tandem parachute jump.
Pippa about to take the plunge.
Pippa is ward sister at the charity which is on the lookout for qualified nurses and health care assistants/support workers.
Daredevil antics are optional, but Pippa’s plunge with 23 other Hospice staff and supporters who raised £14,000 shows the family atmosphere there.
“It’s a privilege and an honour to work at the Hospice. It’s a warm, friendly, calm environment and we can give time to patients in their final days or weeks and support their families.
A leap into the unknown … Pippa on a mission to raise funds for the Hospice.
“We have vacancies at the moment and I would recommend joining a nursing team brilliantly supported across all areas, with phenomenal backing from the community.
“I did a sky dive for the first time as I wanted to give something back to a Hospice hopefully there for years to come for all of us if necessary.
“A parachute jump was on my bucket list. It was a glorious day and the only time I got nervous was when the door opened.”

Pippa has worked at the Hospice for nine years, the last six in her current role.
Husband Adam, son Marcus (7) and daughter Anya (2) saw the jump, along with mum Helen, who works at the Hospice, and mother-in-law Joy.
