At Birmingham Hospice our teams are committed to improving quality of life for people living with life-limiting conditions as well as supporting their families and loved ones during one of the most challenging periods they will ever face.

We are seeking NMC Registered Adult Nurses to join our Inpatient Unit at Selly Park.  You will be working alongside our skilled multi-disciplinary team to deliver the highest possible standard of person-centred palliative and end of life care to our patients and their families.

Administration of drugs in line with Birmingham Hospice policy and professional guidance is a fundamental part of the role.

You will be required to take charge of the ward as and when required.  The role will also involve supervising Band 2 staff, student nurses and other Clinical Trainees.

This post will be predominately based at our Selly Park site.  However, there may be times where work across both hospice sites is expected.

There will be the opportunity to develop professionally and learn specialist skills supported by our experienced and passionate multidisciplinary teams including our Education team.

If this sounds like the role for you then we’d love to receive your application.
