Overview of role

Are you passionate about delivering truly person-centred care in a hospice setting where time, compassion, and dignity are prioritised? At St Clare Hospice, we offer a rare opportunity to work in an environment where you can focus on what matters most - providing outstanding palliative and end-of-life care with the time and space to do it properly.



We are currently recruiting to our 8-bedded Inpatient Unit, a calm and supportive space where patients and their families are at the heart of everything we do.



You do not need to be an expert in palliative care to join our team--what matters most is your compassion, commitment, and willingness to learn. We are looking for the right person, and we will support you with full training and development to help you thrive in your role.
