Registered Nurse

You will use your specialist clinical skills to help provide individualised paediatric and palliative care that puts the family at the centre of everything you do. Our beautiful, welcoming hospices provide an incredibly calming and supportive haven for families facing the death of their child. You will have time to develop your skills as part of a clinical, educational, psychological and holistic network across South West England, enabling you to care for our most clinically complex children with confidence. On a typical day you could be dealing with a tracheostomy, supporting a ventilated child or making up a syringe driver in the morning and enriching the lives of the children through fun and play in the afternoon. A rare opportunity to provide truly holistic care, ensuring dreams are fulfilled and precious memories are made. The care and support we provide can span many years, or be a brief moment in time, being there when families need us most., I thought the hospice was going be all end of life care, but as well as the end of life and bereavement care, it is also about getting to know the family and supporting them on their journey, long or short, and having the time to do that. As a nurse there's not many jobs where you are able to spend quality time with a family. It is a real privilege.
