Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone.

We are there when it matters.

Job responsibilities

Our senior nurses play an indispensable role in providing compassionate, holistic care for patients with life-limiting illnesses. Their work extends far beyond medical tasks, encompassing emotional, psychological, and spiritual support for both patients and their families.

In palliative care no day is the same. Working on our inpatient unit provides a unique opportunity because we care for patients with a variety of conditions and symptoms. If you would like to develop your knowledge of many different conditions and the impact this has on patients and their families, a role in palliative care with Sue Ryder is for you.

Our senior nurses work on a rotational shift pattern, including early shifts, late shifts, long days, nights, and weekends. As this role supports a 24/7 service, we are seeking candidates with flexibility to work a range of shifts as required.

The successful applicants will play an active role within our multidisciplinary team. You will work alongside Specialty Doctors, therapy staff, volunteers and other vital members of the MDT taking a holistic approach in providing the best possible outcomes for each patient.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Providing support, leadership, recognition and supervision to other members of the team
• Sharing knowledge and expertise with other staff through formal and informal teaching
• Acting as a mentor to student nurses
• Producing accurate, timely and complete records
