About the role
We are looking for compassionate nurses to join our community palliative care team. Our team works across a 7-day week, providing a service from 7.30am to 9pm.

In these roles, our skilled team provides telephone and video triage, visiting people in their homes across Bromley, Croydon, Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark; and also see people in our outpatient department. You will be a registered nurse or paramedic with experience in end of life care, or who would like to develop your career in palliative care.

Your role will be important in supporting people who are entering the last phase of their lives to talk about what is important to them and helping them to navigate how their wishes and goals can be achieved. You will also support families and friends as well as providing expert care that will support a dignified death. You will offer the people we support your skills in symptom control, social, emotional and spiritual care, in addition to providing advice, support and education to the primary health care team and hospital staff where appropriate, as part of an interdisciplinary team.

You will need to be a compassionate and resilient person. For our Clinical Nurse Specialist (equivalent of AfC band 7), you will have proven experience in palliative care/oncology with relevant qualifications and experience of working at Band 6/equivalent or above. We require you to possess excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to work efficiently in a disciplinary team and manage stressful situations.
