About the role:

We are looking for individuals who will enjoy delivering high quality clinical and personal care alongside fun activities, with high staff/children ratios allowing for you to make a real difference and make memories.

You will be part of a multi disciplinary team including nurses, nursing associates, health care assistants, activities coordinators and a child and family support team.

You will work as part of a 24/7 rota with the choice to do short or long shifts.

We are looking to recruit enthusiastic and passionate individuals to provide children and young people (CYP's) palliative care working in the care team at the hospice.

Children's palliative care involves delivering short respite breaks aimed at having fun and 'adding life' to shortened years as well as end of life care and care after death.
