About us
Princess Alice Hospice is a charity supporting people in life, death and grief. We’re dedicated to working closely with individuals, communities and organisations in the London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and large parts of Surrey, to ensure more people receive the support they need.
About the Hospice at Home team
Is care at your core? It is at ours. Palliative and end of life is a time when care really matters. We support our clinical staff to be the difference in these precious days, with outstanding patient-to-carer ratios and time to build valued relationships with patients, their families and friends.
Our Hospice at Home service brings the skills and expertise of our highly trained and dedicated specialist team directly into our patient’s homes. This allows patients, their families, and carers access to the vital support they need at home, when time matters most.
About the role
We are looking for two experienced and versatile Clinical Nurse Specialists with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to join our Hospice at Home team.
You will work autonomously within defined protocols to facilitate and provide high‑quality specialist nursing care to our patients. You will act as a specialist resource for other health and social care professionals on issues relating to specialist palliative care, responding to their identified requirements and initiating research and audit.
About you
You will be motivated, a flexible thinker, and able to adapt to new ways of providing care to reach more patients within the community. You’ll have excellent communication skills and enjoy working alongside a multidisciplinary team to assess the needs of patients, families, and carers.
A relevant degree is required, and experience in palliative care or oncology is essential.
