* Advanced communication, assessment and clinical decision-making skills
* Strong understanding of palliative and end-of-life care, symptom management and community support pathways
* Confidence using IT systems (ideally Office 365 and SystmOne)
* Emotional resilience, compassion and the ability to work flexibly in varied community settings
* A collaborative mindset aligned with our values of Compassion, Collaboration and Empowerment
A driving licence and the ability to travel within the community is essential for this role.

* Contribute to a service that values innovation, leadership and compassionate care
* Bring your ideas and grow professionally within a collaborative, values-driven environment
