We are looking to appoint a dynamic experienced and highly motivated nurse to join our Motor Neurone Disease Community Nurse Specialist Palliative Care Team (LOROS). We provide care to individuals throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The team also participate in training programmes for both professionals and non-professionals. There will be opportunities for self-development and involvement in service development and clinical audit.
This post holder will act as a key worker and support patients with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and their families from diagnosis to end of life. You will work alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team both at LOROS and across the wider health and social care community, including the neurology department at UHL and social services.
You will need to have well-developed interpersonal skills, experience and be passionate for caring for patients with MND and/or other neurological conditions. Community experience and experience of supporting patients with palliative and end of life care needs would also be beneficial.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in a highly specialist palliative care team, supporting patients living with MND and making a real difference during critical time in their lives.
Due to the nature of the role and visiting patients in remote areas it is essential that you hold a current driving licence and have access to a car/transfer for work purposes.
LOROS wants to ensure that the profile of its employees reflects the diverse communities of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from the diverse communities, we serve.
Closing Date: Tuesday 21st October 2025
