St Peter’s Hospice are looking to recruit a Band 6 Nurse or Health Care Professional to join our Hospice at Home team, providing specialist end‑of‑life care across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
If you are a dedicated, compassionate and proactive clinician with a passion for supporting patients in the last weeks of life, we would love to hear from you.
About the role
As a Band 6 clinician within our Hospice at Home service, you will work autonomously in patients' homes, providing high‑quality clinical, practical and emotional support to individuals in the last four weeks of life and to their families.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Visiting patients to review symptom control and assess care needs
* Providing expert end‑of‑life care advice and support
* Undertaking remote assessments where needed to prioritise care safely
* Working closely with community and primary care teams to ensure timely, coordinated responses
* Collaborating with CHC and other hospice teams, with access to senior nurse and medic advice
* Supporting a caseload that increasingly includes both malignant and non‑malignant conditions, reflecting community frailty and long‑term health needs
As a Band 6, you will act as a clinical lead and role model for a large team of Senior Palliative Care Support Workers, offering clinical supervision and supporting them in work that can be emotionally demanding.
This is a rewarding yet challenging role, requiring confidence, resilience and a strong background in community and end‑of‑life care.
About the person
We are looking for a clinician who is:
* Experienced in providing care within patients’ homes
* Skilled in end‑of‑life and palliative care
* A clear, compassionate communicator
* Confident working independently and making clinical decisions
* A supportive team member who can lead by example
Experience in remote assessment is desirable.
A full driving licence, appropriate insurance and access to a vehicle for shifts are essential.
What we can offer you
* Band 6 equivalent salary (£38,682 - £46,580 FTE, dependent on experience)
* 30 hours per week, 4 in 7 days per week
* Permanent position
* A supportive employer with a strong culture of professional development
* Opportunities to enhance your specialist skills through extensive in‑house and external training options
* A friendly, highly skilled multidisciplinary team
* The chance to make a significant difference to patients and families at one of the most important times in their lives
We operate a rotating shift pattern which includes weekend and bank holidays within a flexible shift time pattern.
