Progress your nursing career and take the next step into senior clinical leadership.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced palliative care nurse to play a key role in leading our Inpatient Unit team and making a real difference to patient safety, quality of care, and the overall patient experience.
Using your advanced clinical judgement, specialist knowledge, and leadership skills, you will inspire and support the team to deliver outstanding palliative and end-of-life care. Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you will help create an environment where patients and their families receive compassionate, person-centred care when they need it most.
You will bring a degree-level qualification in palliative care or a related subject, together with evidence of ongoing professional development. Significant post-registration experience in palliative and end-of-life care is essential, as is experience of leading and managing teams, coaching and mentoring colleagues, and facilitating clinical supervision. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are key, along with a passion for supporting the development of junior staff and helping others achieve their potential.
If you are looking for a role where you can develop your leadership expertise, influence service quality, and enhance lives through expert care, we would love to hear from you.
