Eastbourne, United Kingdom Chestnut Tree House Full time

**Hours**:
30 - 37.5 hours per week (part time considered, minimum of 30 hours per week)

**Salary**:
£22,575 - £23,112 depending on depth and variety of experience in a similar role

**Closing date: 18 February 2024**

Interviews are likely to take place on 20 February and 23 February 2024

**About the role**:
We are looking to recruit enthusiastic and passionate individuals to provide children and young people (CYP’s) palliative by working as a family support worker at the hospice and within the community setting. Children’s palliative care involves delivering short respite breaks aimed at having fun and ‘adding life’ to shortened years as well as end of life care. We are looking for individuals who will enjoy supporting and signposting families, developing offers of support, visiting families in their homes, alongside creating an outreach programme providing families and carers opportunities to come together to socialise and gain emotional and practical support. These groups may include coffee mornings, evening social events and parent pamper sessions.

The post holder will work closely with the lead engagement nurse, community key workers, social workers, activities team, therapists and pastoral and spiritual lead to provide exemplary care and support so that children and families can be supported to add life to shortened years.

We value the vital role of family support within the hospice and you will be supported to work autonomously. You do not need to have experience of working in palliative care as we offer a comprehensive development programme along with inhouse training which supports all our staff to achieve skills and confidence.

This role will provide you with job satisfaction, knowing that every day you have given exceptional care. The role will be based at the Eastbourne office with a requirement to travel across Sussex and to the hospice in Arundel and will involve some evening and weekend work.

**Due to the remote location and lack of public transport, access to your own transport is essential.**

**About us**:
We’re a children’s hospice for East and West Sussex and South East Hampshire, providing specialist palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.

We’re committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community - a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed on merit. We offer various family-friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds.

**Benefits**:

- Company pension scheme or NHS pension scheme for eligible employees
- Up to 35 days’ annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
- On-site education support and study leave opportunities
- Option to access Health Shield and cover your everyday cost of healthcare for less
- Free parking, subsidised meals and various social activities
- Corporate rate gym membership, discounts with local complementary therapies and Blue Light Card

**Disclosure and Barring Service Check**:
For further information or to arrange a visit please call the Clinical Managers on 01903 871822.
