This is an exciting opportunity to join our integrated community nursing team and be part of our evolving community model providing advice and support to patients in their own homes. We have full time hours available for a 9 month fixed term CNS post.

You will join a supportive, patient focused team who are dedicated to making a meaningful difference and going that extra mile for the people of Hastings & Rother. We are looking for someone who is passionate about palliative care and have transferable nursing skills and experience. You will be able to build a natural and trusted rapport with patients and families and provide compassionate care and support to those who need it most.

Our ideal candidate has excellent communication skills, sound judgement, and a real commitment to patient-centred interdisciplinary team working. You will be able to openly and honestly support people with sensitive topics including loss, grief and dying.

While palliative care experience is desirable, it is not essential to join our Hospice team. We invite you to spend time with us, meeting the team, seeing the hospice and gaining insight into how you can make a difference to patients and their families by joining St Michael’s Hospice.

At St Michael’s Hospice, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive work environment for our employees. We offer a range of benefits to ensure that our employees feel valued and supported, including:

• A good pension scheme with the option to continue any existing NHS pension scheme membership
• Benenden Health membership
• Up to 33 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Subsidised employee meals and free refreshments
• Free parking
• Supportive supervision and a proactive Education Department to support with your continued professional development including preceptorship if you are newly qualified
• Access to the Blue Light card scheme and its discounts

We believe that our employees are our greatest asset, and we are committed to investing in their professional development and well-being. We invite you to join our team and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

To apply for this position please complete an application form.  Please note CVs will not be accepted, unless candidates are unable to complete the application form due to a disability, in which case please contact the HR team.

Please note if a vacancy is part time the salary will be pro rata.
