Community Support Worker – End of Life Care

Closing date is 04 January 2026

We are leading a bold transformation in community and palliative end‑of‑life care across the county. Our vision is simple yet powerful: to ensure people nearing the end of life experience a peaceful, dignified death in the place of their choosing.

Currently, Cornwall has one of the highest rates of hospital stays during the last 90 days of life, a clear signal that change is needed. We are creating a more patient‑centred, community‑based approach that brings compassionate care closer to home in the last year of their life or when they are nearing the end of life.

As part of our growing service we are:

• Reducing unnecessary hospital admissions
• Delivering personalised care plans to support home‑based care

In collaboration with the Macmillan Social Investment Fund and local partners we’re expanding services including:

• A 24/7 Rapid Community Response and Care Service
• A dedicated End‑of‑Life Care phone line for public and professionals
• Strengthened voluntary sector partnerships and our Hospital@Home virtual service

We have opportunities available across various localities within the Central and West county, offering flexibility in base location depending on service need and candidate preference with a requirement to cover Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
