Education delivery, audit, project work and quality improvement, role modelling, and leadership behaviours commensurate with a Band 6 CNS portfolio and are expected aspects of the role.

Because of the complexity of the patient caseload and the multiple aspects of the role we expect the candidate to have current hospital palliative care experience.

About us

You will be a part of the multidisciplinary Specialist Palliative Care Team. We are an experienced team of doctors, nurses and pharmacist providing care to this complex patient group.

We strive to provide a good patient experience and adapt the service accordingly to meet patient need.
