Lymington SO ZZ, United Kingdom Oakhaven Hospice Trust Full time

This post is for a Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Oakhaven Hospice Trust. The post is part time comprising of 8 Programmed Activities (PAs) per week (negotiable). The post holder will work with the Medical Director (6 PAs) and community consultant (7 Pas), in the inpatient, community and local hospital settings to provide Specialist Palliative Medicine advice and support across the catchment area. Consultants provide second on call cover by telephone with an expectation of returning to the hospice in exceptional clinical circumstances.

This role is ideal both for newly qualified consultants and experienced consultants seeking a role with scope for innovation and an excellent work-life balance Oakhaven Hospice Trust is an independent charitably funded hospice providing specialist palliative and end of life care to patients and families in the New Forest, Totton, and the Waterside area of Hampshire (a population of around 145,000 people). Opened in 1990, Oakhaven Hospice was built with the support of local people. Over the years it has expanded and now receives around 15% of its funding from the NHS. In 2024/25 Oakhaven supported over 1000 patients in the community and cared for 214 patients on our 10 bedded Inpatient Unit.

Our mission is to meet the end-of-life care needs of our local community through the provision of specialist services from the hospice combined with partnership working and collaboration with other health and social care providers in the locality. Together with the vital support of our staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters we continue to develop and grow our services so that our patients get expert, dignified, compassionate and supportive care when and where they need it. Joining Oakhaven Hospice Trust means becoming part of a dedicated team that makes a real difference to patients and families facing life-limiting illness. Consultant roles have a shared office and assistance from full-time secretarial support along with the opportunity to continue with an NHS pension.

Consultants will have an honorary contract with HIOWH NHS Foundation Trust as part of their role in supporting Lymington New Forest Hospital. In line with the Royal College of Physicians requirements Oakhaven Hospice Trust supports continuing professional development (CPD) and is committed to providing time and financial support for these activities. The Trust has the required arrangements in place, to ensure that all doctors have an annual appraisal with a trained appraiser (via Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust) and supports doctors through the revalidation process. We also provide support through access to clinical supervision and mentoring.

Oakhaven Hospice Trust is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates, regardless of protected characteristics
