The successful candidate will have a Palliative Nursing/paramedic background to work alongside a Healthcare Assistant out of hours. (Hours negotiable between 18:00-08:00)

With experience in specialist palliative care you will be able to support patients where they call home, provide a robust assessment, support timely symptom control, work autonomously in your assessment and decision making.

• Provision of home‑made meals available for staff in our onsite bistro
• Access to Blue Light Card scheme with a range of discounts
• Opportunities to attend staff social events arranged by our social committee (such as photography group, quiz nights and organisational picnics to name a few)
