We are currently seeking to recruit enthusiastic and highly motivated Registered Nurses and to work within the Inpatient Unit at Bolton Hospice.  This will be a challenging and rewarding opportunity for anyone wishing to further develop their nursing skills and knowledge within specialist palliative care.

£25,655 - £31,534 per annum

(Entry-Top level Band 5, dependent upon experience, unsocial hours enhancements paid in addition)

34.5 hours per week (Full Time 37.5 considered)

The IPU is a 24 hour, 7 day service and the roles will therefore include weekends and either day/night rotation or night shifts only.  Long day shifts are available to staff on IPU (34.5 hours is 3 long days/night shifts)

The Role

Working as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team, you will support patients with complex clinical needs and provide hands-on, person-centred care.  Our staff strive to provide the highest quality of service for our patients and their families and carers, through a collaborative team approach.  All IPU staff work both night and day shifts on rotation; however, a nights only contract would be considered for this role.

What you need:

To apply, you must be a Registered General Nurse, who is enthusiastic and flexible with a passion for specialist palliative and end of life care.  A recognised post-registration palliative care qualification and/or experience in the specialty is desirable, although you will be fully supported in the role if you have limited or no experience with the specialty. You will have access to a range of training and development opportunities and be welcomed as a valued member of an experienced and supportive team.
