You will assess and respond to complex clinical needs, ensuring care is individualised and focused on comfort, dignity and quality of life. Working closely with the multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to shared clinical decision-making and continuity of care across the patient journey. You will support patients and families through emotionally challenging times, offering skilled clinical care alongside sensitive communication and emotional support. You will also contribute to the day-to-day running of the inpatient unit, including taking on shift leadership responsibilities when required and providing guidance and support to junior colleagues. Your role will help sustain inpatient capacity during a defined funding period and support the ongoing delivery of safe, person-centred care.
