We are not a Sponsorship employer
Nottinghamshire Hospice lead the provision of compassionate, community palliative care to those who are dying in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire from a terminal or life limiting illness. Our values are embedded throughout the organisation
Compassion, Trust and Ambition
Our Hospice offers staff the unique privilege to walk alongside patients and their families at this significant time of their lives while providing compassionate care and support. We deliver high-quality, excellent palliative care for patients living with a life-limiting condition and we also support their families and friends, both before and after death.
When people are cared for in their own home, our goal is to help them to make the most of their lives, in ways that are important to THEM. This care may sometimes include coming into the Hospice as part of our wellbeing offer.

Working in an environment where the patient is truly the centre of care, you will be part of a supportive and fun team where everyone is valued for their unique skills and experience. You do not need palliative care experience (although that would be great) as we offer a comprehensive induction package.
Our Hospice in Your Home Team provides planned 1:1 care and a roaming service to people in their own homes. The successful postholder will work shifts across the week, including weekends and bank holidays, on a planned rota basis.
