Job Description

As we prepare to reopen our Shrewsbury ward following a 3 million makeover there is a range of inpatient and community roles available.


We are keen to attract both newly qualified individuals at the beginning of their careers and experienced clinicians.


At Severn Hospice we provide compassionate and specialist care for people living with incurable illness and we are looking for dedicated and empathetic Registered Nurses to join our Inpatient Team or Community Team.


As part of a supportive multi-disciplinary clinical team, you will play a vital role in delivering the highest standards of nursing and holistic person-centred care. You will support patients with complex needs at a crucial time in their lives, providing care with dignity, respect and kindness, while also supporting those important to them.


You will undertake comprehensive assessments, symptom management and care planning tailored to meet individual patient needs. You will deliver direct patient care ensuring safe, effective and compassionate care is consistently maintained.


If the community team is more your area, using your clinical expertise you will undertake palliative assessments, symptom management and timely interventions in response to immediate patient need, providing care with dignity, respect and kindness at a crucial time in people's lives. You will build supportive relationships with patients, families, GPs and Community Professionals, ensuring effective communication and coordinated care.


Here at Severn Hospice, you are given time to care and make a genuine difference to patients and those that are important to them. Our inpatient units benefit from a high staff-to-patient ratio allowing nurses the space to deliver the quality of care that inspired them to join the profession. We offer flexible shift patterns, covering both days and nights across seven days a week.


Caring is what we do best - and that includes caring for our staff. You will work in a friendly, fulfilling and supportive environment, with access to clinical supervision, strong peer support and a culture that values compassion, respect and excellence.


Previous palliative care experience is welcome but not essential. We are equally keen to hear from newly qualified nurses looking to build a strong foundation for their career, as well as experienced nurses seeking a new and rewarding challenge.


If you have a passion for caring, we'd love to hear from you.
