Complementary Therapist-accord Hospice

**Complementary Therapist**

AFC equivalent Band 4 (£25,914 - £28,187)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Complementary Therapist to join our friendly, compassionate and busy team at ACCORD Hospice, with an aim to develop and provide a complementary therapy service that offers holistic and individually tailored care to Patient's and carers in the cancer setting - inpatients and outpatients. Working pattern - 10 hours over 2 days.

We are looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to our organisation and the community we serve. Based in Paisley, Renfrewshire, ACCORD Hospice provides individualised, compassionate care to patients living with a ‘life-limiting’ illness and support for their family. With the introduction of our Community Hub, which hosts all our community services, this is a really exciting time to join the ACCORD Hospice Team. We are currently evolving our care approach within the community towards a model that increases access to services and the overall ‘outreach’ to the community we support. This post will be integral in helping us deliver our vision for the future of Palliative Care in Renfrewshire.

The post holder will:

- Offer and provide Palliative Complementary Therapy Treatments (PCTT) to patients and their carers within all areas of the Hospice within their sphere of competency.
- Ensure that patients are holistically assessed for PCTT.
- Work alongside the multi-disciplinary team, showing a degree of flexibility to meet the needs of the service.
- Have the ability and understanding of dealing with sensitive patient/carer issues.

What we are looking for:

- Evidence of on-going personal / professional development.
