Full Job Description

We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity to join our Palliative Care Specialist Team in one of the country's largest acute NHS Trusts as the team leader.

The post will be based within the existing Specialist Palliative Care Team offering ongoing support, working alongside staff to ensure that people with specialist palliative care needs are in receipt of the care they require to achieve the best quality of life possible. The post will be based at The Royal London in Whitechapel; there may be some rotation and cross site working.

This post holder will be highly skilled with relevant extensive palliative care experience to support the delivery of clinically effective, efficient and high-quality care to people with complex specialist palliative care needs, ensuring that this care is both evidence based and reflects current best practice.

Main duties of the job

Using Specialist Palliative skills and knowledge you will manage a caseload of patients and their families/carers with complex needs associated with living with a life challenging illness.

This post will contribute to a networked service to facilitate access to assessment, advance care planning and treatment for a specific cohort of patients and their families with complex palliative care needs, working in partnership with generic ward staff and specialist community teams for those that are being rapidly discharged home for terminal care.

Act as a specialist resource across the whole system using a team approach to influence patient care through the indirect role of providing specialist education and training to multi-professional staff/students, statutory and voluntary agencies, undertaking research, audits and service development within palliative and end of life care.

Additionally, this post will proactively support a move towards 7 day a week working of the existing CNS team with main hours of operation providing cover over the weekend as well as bank holidays.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain's leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are underrepresented within Barts Health at this band.
