Job description

About us:

Princess Alice Hospice is one of the top ten adult hospices in the UK, providing specialist palliative care and support to a community of more than a million people living in Surrey, south west London and Middlesex.

About the Hospice at Home team:

Is care at your core? It is at ours. Palliative and end of life is a time when care really matters. We support our clinical staff to be the difference in these precious days: with outstanding patient to carer ratios. With time to build valued relationships with your patients, their families and friends.

Our Hospice at Home service brings the skills and expertise of our highly trained and dedicated specialist team directly into our patient’s homes. This allows patients, their families, and carers access to the vital support they need at home, when time matters most.

About the role:

We are looking for an experienced and versatile Clinical Nurse Specialist with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to join our Hospice at Home team and support the Outpatient clinic service to patients within the catchment area.

You will work autonomously reviewing patients face to face in different out patient settings within the catchment and by supporting the patients on the clinic caseload, both virtually and by telephone.

You will work within defined protocols to facilitate and provide high quality specialist nursing care to our patients. You will act as a specialist resource for other health and social care professionals on issues relating to specialist palliative care, responding to their identified requirements and initiating research and audit.

About you:
You will be motivated, a flexible thinker, and able to adapt to new ways of providing care to reach more patients within the community. You’ll have excellent communication skills and enjoy working alongside a multidisciplinary team to assess the needs of patients, families, and carers.

You will have a relevant degree or diploma or be in the process of undertaking one. Palliative care or oncology experience is essential.

As well as joining a caring organisation where you will be able to make a difference for our patients and their families, we have a range of great benefits which include:

• 27 days’ annual leave plus recognised public holidays - rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
• educational and professional development opportunities (we have an on-site Education Team)
• monthly group reflections via Schwartz Rounds sessions
• free on-site parking
• tranquil Hospice grounds
• clinical supervision (regular and we ensure its protected time)
• an annual development day - protected time for you and your learning
• subsidised meals at our on-site restaurant
• Employee Assistance Programme
• access to the Blue Light Card discount scheme
• Access to Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus we also offer an Auto-enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice.
• in-house laundry of uniforms, plus excellent changing facilities (with showers, fresh towels, and hairdryers)
• wellbeing care - we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.

If you are enthusiastic, personable, share our values and care about making a difference in the last years of someone’s life, we would love to hear from you!

At Princess Alice Hospice we are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We are fully committed to equality of opportunities, and we warmly welcome applications from all backgrounds and cultures.
