Blackburn, United Kingdom East Lancashire Hospice Full time

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen as part of ongoing service development for a motivated individual with well-developed organisational and communication/interpersonal skills to join our Supportive Care Team coordinating support in the community for individuals with life limiting illness.

You will be responsible for the efficient and effective coordination of responsive, individualised supportive palliative care for patients and those important to them. You will be a key player in ensuring coordinated care is in the right place at the right time for each patient and their family including at the end of a persons life so helping to prevent avoidable admissions and facilitate discharge from hospice or hospital.

Can you work alone whilst also share a sense of pride and achievement in the work you do with team colleagues? if so this role may be exactly what you are looking for.
