Hospice Community Clinical Nurse Specialist
Are you an enthusiastic Registered Nurse with demonstrable experience and knowledge of providing care to people with a specialist palliative care need?
We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse to join our Community Team. You will work with our multi-disciplinary team providing specialist palliative care advice and support to patients in the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area in the community and at one of our Community Care Units.
St Elizabeth Hospice continues to drive forward innovation and development of services, both in the Ipswich and East Suffolk locality and further up the coast to the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area. In 2019 NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board awarded the specialist palliative and end of life care contract to East Coast Community Healthcare. The contract includes a specialist palliative care service which will be delivered in partnership with St Elizabeth Hospice. Our most recent Care Quality Commission report rated the hospice as “Outstanding”.
In March 2023, St Elizabeth Hospice merged with East Coast Hospice to form ‘St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice,’ with all service provision in Great Yarmouth and Waveney coming under the St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice name.
This is an exciting time for St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice, as we are developing an achievable and sustainable palliative and end of life care service for the residents of Great Yarmouth and Waveney. It’s a time of expansion, development and investment in the Hospice Team. We are offering an opportunity to be part of the Community Specialist Palliative Care Team and also work within our Community Care Unit influencing the holistic care of patients and carers with end of life and specialist palliative care needs. This is a chance to make a real difference to people’s lives.
St Elizabeth Hospice is committed to safeguarding and protecting the adults and young people that we work with and has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse, neglect and discrimination of any person. As such, all posts are subject to a rigorous safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We have a range of robust safeguarding policies in place which promote safeguarding across the hospice and staff are expected to undertake regular, mandatory safeguarding training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond to potential risks.
