Description

Thames Hospice is a leading UK hospice, providing specialist palliative care for adults and children over the age of 16, with advanced life-limiting illnesses, as well as support for their loved ones and carers.

The Hospice serves the diverse population of East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire, and has developed excellent links with the local acute trust, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.

In September 2021 we were rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC.

This is an exciting time for our service as the new, state-of-the-art hospice by Bray Lake, in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, is allowing us to further expand and improve our inpatient, community outpatient services and education facilities making our hospice a regional hub for specialist palliative care services offering care and support for patients and families at our 28 bed inpatient unit, day and outpatient unit and in their own homes.

We are seeking to appoint two Clinical Fellows to join the Medical Team at the hospice - one 6-month fixed term contract to run 02/08/2023 to 07/02/2024*, and another 6-month fixed term contract to run 07/02/2024 to 07/08/2024.

These are both full time positions, but applicants wishing to work less than full time will be considered.

The post will be based at the inpatient unit of the hospice. There will be opportunity to work with community specialist palliative care team, outpatient and day hospice services.

The post will provide an excellent opportunity to gain experience and skills in a supportive palliative care setting, for those considering a career in palliative medicine, allied medical specialties or general practice.

Though this not a training post opportunity for training will be available under supervision of accredited palliative medicine consultants.
