Job description

Are you seeking a role with a clear pathway to becoming a Senior Nurse? We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse to join our Community based Hospice Care at Home team on a part time basis.

Main duties of the job

As a Registered Nurse, you will deliver holistic, person centred end of life care within a multidisciplinary team. Your role includes assessing the needs of patients and those important to them, planning and delivering tailored care, and evaluating outcomes. You will also research and connect with wider services to ensure patients access the full range of available support, and collaborate with other providers to enhance experiences around dying, death, and bereavement. Additionally, you will take responsibility for providing high quality, evidence based care to people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones.

About us

Marie Curie is the UKs leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness theyre likely to die from.

The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
