We’re seeking a registered nurse to work at our NHS funded hospice working under agenda for change terms and conditions, meaning you get all the benefits of working for an NHS Trust with the addition of free parking at our site. We would like someone to join our team who is passionate about palliative care, whereby you can really make a difference not only to patients but their families too. Whether that’s when patients come in for complex symptom management or for end of life care. We are a 10 bedded unit (all en-suite) with staffing ratios that means you can deliver the best care possible to make a difference to your patients. Set in its own grounds means that we have gardens that the patients can use, even when they’re in their beds they can be pushed round the gardens. As well as working alongside the medical team you will also be a part of a team that includes an activity co-ordinator, complementary therapist and hairdresser. It really means that we can go the extra mile for our patients-and you can be part of that!

You will be supported through regular planned management and clinical supervision and complete a preceptorship package, before moving towards nurse in charge/co-ordinator status in a stepped approach to ensure you feel supported throughout the process. Our initial concentration is on getting you orientated and confident in working in a hospice environment.
