Job Summary
St Michael’s Hospice supports and enables the community of Hastings and Rother to live well with dying, death and loss. Our services are provided via in‑patient beds and at home and we also offer Wellbeing support, both out‑patient and virtual.
We want to recruit and retain the most diversely talented people and have a workforce representative of our community. We aspire to be a place where everyone feels welcome; whether you are cared for or supported by us, employed by us, volunteer for us, or support us in any way. We recognise that being a diverse and inclusive organisation will enable us to achieve our vision of a kind, resilient and empowered community.
The role
We are looking for registered nurses/paramedics to join our evolving community team who are passionate about palliative care and have transferable skills and experience. You will be able to build a natural and trusted rapport with patients and families and provide compassionate care and support to those who need it most through home visits and telephone advice and support.
Our ideal candidate has excellent communication skills, sound judgement, and a real commitment to patient‑centred interdisciplinary team working. You will be able to openly and honestly support people with sensitive topics including loss, grief and dying.
While palliative care experience is desirable, it is not essential to join our Hospice team as a Registered Nurse or Paramedic. We welcome newly graduated nurses and paramedics and people with experience in other fields interested in a career change.
We invite you to spend the day with us to meet the team and gain insight into how you can make a difference to patients and their families by joining St Michael’s Hospice.
Employee Benefit's
At St Michael’s Hospice we offer a friendly, team orientated work environment – a good pension scheme with the option to continue any existing NHS pension scheme membership, an Employee Assistance Programme (Benenden Healthcare), up to 33 days annual leave plus bank holidays, subsidised employee meals and free refreshments, free parking, supportive supervision and a proactive Education Department to support with your development. Hospice employees also qualify for a Blue Light Card with access to a huge array of discounts.
