Princess Alice Hospice is one of the top ten adult hospices in the UK, providing specialist palliative care and support to a community of more than a million people living in Surrey, south west London and Middlesex.
About the In-Patient Team
Is care at your core? It is at ours. Here at Princess Alice, you’ll have the opportunity to make a satisfying, rewarding difference to the lives of our patients, their families and friends, and be supported every step of the way. We support our clinical staff to be the difference in these precious days. With outstanding patient to carer ratios. With time to build valued relationships with your patients, their families and friends. With one-to-one clinical supervision.
The secret to our CQC ‘outstanding’ rating is simple. We care for our carers. We’re ambitious - blazing new trails in end of life care - and supporting the ambitions of our nurses with on-site training and qualifications. We’re small enough to value each individual and big enough to help nurture your career goals. You’ll be part of a great team of experienced professionals to learn from and learn with.
