You will work predominantly with the Supportive and Palliative Care team at Southampton General Hospital, working alongside the team to provide symptom control advice and support to patients in the acute hospital.

The team sees patients throughout the hospital, including on the critical care units. You will be expected to attend and contribute to daily handover and team discussion, then reviewing patients referred to the team across the hospital.

Depending on experience, these reviews will initially be done with another member of the team, but it is envisaged that you will develop your skills and confidence to conduct reviews of new and follow-up patients independently in time. There may also be the opportunity, depending on experience, to take part in the developing outpatient service.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
