St Luke’s are recruiting a Staff Nurse to join the nursing team on the in-patient unit. The IPU delivers palliative and end of life care for patients with complex palliative care needs. The IPU prides itself in the delivery of an exceptional standard of nursing care. As a result the IPU enjoys a particularly good nurse to patient ratio to support that standard of care.
We would welcome applications from registered nurses with a passion for delivering quality, evidence based care and a particular interest in palliative/end of life care. Post registration experience in a variety of areas and a palliative care qualification would be an advantage/desirable, but not essential. Internal rotation to nights and weekends will be a requirement of the post.

As a staff member of St Luke’s, you will receive an attractive employment package, which includes 7 weeks annual leave rising with service (including bank holidays) and membership to a cash back health plan. St Luke’s is committed to the development of its staff.
Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced clearance will be required for this post.
