An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone who enjoys spending time with children and young people, providing fun filled opportunities and creating special memories? Andy’s offers a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment where our children, young people, families and workforce are at the heart of everything we do, in striving to make each day enjoyable for everyone.
You can make a real difference to the lives of babies, children and young people who have palliative care needs and life limiting conditions, keeping them at the centre of everything that we do – alongside supporting our families throughout their journey from referral to end of life and bereavement support.
It is often said that being in palliative care nursing is a real honour and privilege but is frequently overlooked as a career pathway. Here are St Andrew’s we strive to make every second count, and where every moment creates a memory for the family. We aim to bring joy, happiness and laughter to our Children’s Services, and support tears and sad times with the utmost care and compassion.
Every baby, child, young person and family are different, every conversation and everything we put into place for our families is supported with an individualised plan of care. You will have a wonderful opportunity to work with children and families having time to make a difference and time to care – this is what makes our organisation special.
The Senior Palliative Care Nurse role will support outreach into the community, working with the CCN teams, in reach into the acute hospitals, having a regular presence on wards, attending ward rounds and development of community hubs, building relationships with professionals, and raising awareness of all the services/support we can provide. This is an important step forward in the development of our services and this role is pivotal to this work.
Therefore, we are looking for talented individuals who share our passion to improve the lives of children and young people with a variety of complex health conditions.
You will have excellent clinical skills, be a good communicator and strive to make a difference in creative and demonstrable ways.
As a Senior Palliative Care Nurse, it is essential that you hold a first or second level registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and in addition, would be advantageous to possess post registration experience in a Children’s, community palliative care setting. Flexibility is essential as the working hours are based on the service need which includes days, weekends, 24 hour on call and the flexibility to work nights. As the care we provide is predominantly in the community, a full driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
