FULL TIME / PART TIME AVAILABLE
Are you a Registered Nurse seeking a new opportunity where you can make a vital difference?
St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth is recruiting a Staff Nurse to join the highly respected, friendly nursing team at our inpatient unit (IPU) in the beautiful setting of Turnchapel, Plymouth.
Our IPU team prides itself on providing palliative and end of life care of the highest standard for patients with complex care needs, relieving their pain and maintaining their dignity.
As a result, the IPU enjoys a particularly good nurse to patient ratio (typically 1:3) to support this standard of care.
While the role we are recruiting to is a challenging one, it is highly rewarding and you will be part of a supportive team working in a positive environment where all our staff and volunteers are valued.
If you’re a Registered Nurse with a passion for delivering high-calibre, evidence-based care and have a particular interest in palliative/end of life care, we’d love to hear from you. Post- registration experience in a variety of areas and a palliative care qualification would be advantageous, but are not essential. Internal rotation to nights and weekends will be a requirement of the post.
In return, you’ll benefit from excellent opportunities to develop your skills, plus the chance to continue membership of the NHS Pension Scheme for existing members.
Working with us, you will receive an attractive employment package: seven weeks’ annual leave (including bank holidays) rising with service, free onsite parking, and membership of a cashback health plan.

Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced clearance will be required for this post.
