Hospice Inpatient Unit Band 5 Staff Nurse

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Staff Nurse who can drive forward Trinity's vision and values and ensure safe, outstanding care for patients.

• To deliver skilled and compassionate nursing care of the highest quality
• To comply with all relevant professional codes of practice and to conduct all duties in accordance with Trinity's policies and procedures
• To foster positive working relationships with other departments across the hospice

While we welcome previous palliative care experience, we don't require you to have worked in palliative care before joining us. Previous Nurses have joined us from backgrounds as diverse as ITU, the community, acute medical wards and care homes. You are well-placed for a next step in palliative care if you are skilled in communication and symptom control – both skills that are naturally transferrable to Trinity's unique inpatient environment.

What we ask is that you share our passion for delivering quality palliative care and teamwork. In return, we'll make sure you are well resourced, trained, supported, recognised and given the development opportunities you need, to do what you do best. Crucially at Trinity, you have the time to care and devote to your patients day and night, and you will always have a senior nurse and HCAs to support you.

By joining the IPU Nursing team at Trinity, you will be joining a team 130 years in the making at the oldest hospice in the UK. Despite our long history, our facilities are state of the art. Our 28-bed IPU is nestled in a stunning two-acre garden on the edge of Clapham Common, easily accessible from the northern line, London Overground and Clapham Junction station.

If you want to give the best care when people need it the most, and are looking to take the next step in your career, then we hope you will consider joining us.

• We match Agenda for Change/NHS terms and conditions
• If you're coming from another CQC regulated organisation, you can bring your entitlements to annual leave, sick leave and maternity/paternity pay accrued through long service with you
• Employer pension contributions of up to 7.5% or a continuation of your existing NHS pension
• A generous 27 days' annual leave increasing to 29 after 5 years and 33 days after 10 years, plus bank holidays (any bank holidays worked will be given back in lieu)

Together, the inpatient unit (IPU) team at Trinity makes a real difference to the lives of people affected by serious long-term conditions and helps set the standard for specialist palliative and end of life care. We hope you'll join us. We offer great training, support and development in addition to an attractive benefits package, details of which you will find linked to in the attached “Benefits and more” document.

If you are looking for a new opportunity and are passionate about delivering great care, then this could be the perfect fit for you.
