Make a difference where it matters most
At St Clare Hospice, our Community Hospice Services team provides specialist palliative and end of life care to people in their own homes across West Essex and East Hertfordshire.
We are looking for compassionate Registered Nurses to join our growing team, supporting patients and families living with life-limiting illness.
Whether you currently work in acute care, community services or another clinical setting, this is an opportunity to develop specialist skills, work holistically and make a genuine difference every day.
The Role
You will manage a caseload of patients with complex and changing needs, providing specialist support within their own homes.
Working closely with our Clinical Nurse Specialists and wider multidisciplinary team, you will:
- Undertake holistic assessments, considering physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs
- Develop and review person-centred care plans
- Deliver and coordinate high-quality palliative and end of life care
- Monitor changing needs and support symptom management
- Work collaboratively with GPs, district nurses and other healthcare professionals
- Support patients and families through challenging and emotional circumstances
This is a rewarding and varied role that combines autonomous working with the support of an experienced specialist team.
About You
You will be a Registered Nurse with current NMC registration and experience working in a clinical setting.
We are looking for someone who:
- Demonstrates strong assessment and clinical decision-making skills
- Takes a holistic approach to patient care
- Communicates effectively with patients, families and colleagues
- Is compassionate, adaptable and emotionally resilient
- Enjoys working independently while remaining part of a supportive team
- Shares the values and ethos of St Clare Hospice
Experience in community nursing, palliative care or end of life care is advantageous but not essential.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes are essential.
Why Join St Clare Hospice?
Hospice care is often misunderstood. Joining a hospice does not mean stepping away from clinical challenge or professional development. Our nurses care for patients with complex needs, develop specialist expertise and work as part of a highly skilled multidisciplinary team.
We offer:
- Comprehensive induction and support
- Ongoing learning and development opportunities
- A supportive multidisciplinary team
- Opportunities to develop specialist palliative care skills
- Continued membership of the NHS Pension Scheme for eligible employees
- The opportunity to make a lasting difference to local people and their families
