Job description

Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…

At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 26 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.

About the role

We are looking for a Registered Nurse or Allied Health Professional to join us in this new, advanced clinical role. This is an exciting opportunity to play a crucial role in providing equitable care for Motor Neurone Disease across the Coventry and Warwickshire region.

This post has been made possible by the MND Association for the next four years, to establish this service and work with patients, carers and other services to enhance MND care and support.

You’ll be working collaboratively with the Care Coordinator at Mary Ann Evans Hospice, where there is already an MND service, as well as other regional partners, multidisciplinary teams, neurology, respiratory, speech therapy, and palliative care services.

As our MND Care Coordinator, your role will involve:

Supporting people with MND and their families to manage symptoms
Holistic needs assessment and management planning, from diagnosis to end of life
Receiving, making and coordinating referrals
Developing and coordinating seamless specialist care pathways between all external and internal stakeholders
Establishing and providing an advisory service and a single point of contact for patients
Monitoring outcomes and reporting
Leading service development and improvement

This role will support our work by enhancing care and support for MND and improving patient and carer experience.

It will be based on site at our Coventry Hospice, but with regular travel across the region, including home visits to patients and their families. It is a full-time role at 37.5 hours, over 5 days, per week. Job share will also be considered.

About you

We would love to hear from you if you have:

Valid registration with a relevant professional body (e.g. NMC or HCPC)
Relevant post-registration clinical experience (e.g. neurology, palliative care or community nursing)
Experience of collaborating across healthcare, social care and voluntary sectors

We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourage everyone to bring their true selves to work. However you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, we welcome you to apply. If there are any adjustments that would help improve your experience with Myton, we encourage you to share this with us.

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from ethnic minorities, who are currently under-represented in our hospices. We also believe our interview process should be inclusive and transparent. If there is anything missing, or a way we can improve, please do let us know.
