What Our Nurses Say About Working At CHSW...

“We have time to care and time with the opportunity to grow, to nurture, to support and learn.”

“We get support with training, not just clinical training, but support psychologically. Emotionally, we are able to develop and to grow because of the all round holistic support that is provided.”

“Everyone's really encouraged to bring their own individual qualities with them to the hospice. We are supported to develop their skills further. I know I am really valued for my own speciality. We are very much nurtured to grow.”

“I thought the hospice was going be all end of life care, but as well as the end of life and bereavement care, it is also about getting to know the family and supporting them on their journey, long or short, and having the time to do that. As a nurse there's not many jobs where you are able to spend quality time with a family. It is a real privilege.”

“We are a very close-knit team and the type of work we do brings us together as a team.”
