Registered Nurse

Nursing on our inpatient unit gives an exciting opportunity to practice in a setting that prides itself on delivering holistic care.

Comparatively high nurse to patient ratios allows the satisfaction of engaging in meaningful relationships and delivering high quality care.

Patients average length of stay on the unit is 2-3 weeks with 50% of patients being discharged. Patients' needs are complex and varied requiring skilled nursing and multi-disciplinary working.

This role will suit experienced nurses who miss quality relationships with patient's and to more recently qualified staff keen to develop their skills in a supported environment, preceptorship is offered.

We have an onsite Clinical Educator and offer access to in-house development and support external education where this is identified in our staff development and appraisal process.

This is a role where two days are never the same and you have the chance to improve the experience of patients and families when life is most vulnerable.

We are looking for nurses with excellent communication and team working skills, and range of clinical skills, a desire to develop their practice and make a positive impact on those they care for and support.

Previous experience of working in End of life care, Oncology or life limiting conditions are not essential but will be advantageous

Flexibility, responsibility, and professionalism are key, as are the abilities to uphold our values of being:

Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, Equitable and Sustainable – in regards to your patients, colleagues and across the organisation.

A sense of humour helps – hospices are full of laughter!
