An exciting opportunity has arisen for a caring and compassionate registered nurse to join our Hospice Team. You'll be a Registered Nurse with palliative care experience, excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a proven ability to work as part of a multi-professional team.
Our Palliative Care Nurses provide specialist advice, guidance and support to patients at home, in care homes and our Inpatient care. The Staff Nurse role involves getting to know the patient and their family well enough to allow them to talk about how they are feeling, their worries and anxieties. As well as advising on symptom control, medicines and treatments, our nurses ensure people are getting the practical help they need, from community partners.
You will be responsible for initial and ongoing holistic assessment of new patients and planning of care to meet the patients and carers practical, psychosocial, spiritual needs, as well as responding to queries requests for advice and support form patients, families and colleagues.
