Senior Nurse

At the Marie Curie Hospice, Liverpool, we’re proud to introduce our new Ambulatory Paracentesis Service - a same‑day outpatient pathway providing safe, efficient fluid drainage for people living with malignant ascites. Designed to relieve symptoms such as discomfort, breathlessness and reduced mobility, the service offers compassionate, specialist support that helps patients stay well and avoid unnecessary hospital admission.

This service forms a key part of our wider Outpatients and Ambulatory Care offering, where patients can access consultant‑led clinics, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Day Therapy, Counselling, Complementary Therapies, Social Work and Pastoral Care - ensuring everyone receives fully holistic, personalised care.

Our skilled clinical team delivers each stage of the patient journey with care
-from pre‑procedure assessment to aseptic drain insertion, ongoing monitoring and supportive discharge planning. As a Band 6 Senior Nurse, you will provide leadership, coordination and expert clinical support across the service.

As a Senior Nurse within the Ambulatory Paracentesis Service, you will play a key leadership role in ensuring safe, effective and compassionate care. You’ll oversee patient flow, support junior colleagues, maintain high clinical standards and contribute to the ongoing development of this expanding service.
