Are you a compassionate Healthcare Assistant?

• Are you passionate about providing the highest standards of care?
• Are your patients at the centre of everything you do?
• Would you like to work in a palliative care environment?

If you can answer YES to these question, then we would love to hear from you.

At St Joseph’s Hospice we feel it is a privilege to have the opportunity to look after patients and families at the end of their lives. We are now looking for Healthcare Assistants who are just as committed to providing high quality patient care as we are, to join the clinical team. Healthcare Assistant’s will work under the supervision and guidance of a Registered Nurse to deliver patient care in line with each individual care plan.

About St Joseph’s Hospice

The hospice has 31 patient rooms, split across 3 units, providing high quality, end of life care. Our nurse-led service helps create a home from home environment for our patients and provides ongoing support to their families. Clinical activity is supported by our in-house Non-Medical Prescriber nurse, a visiting GP and a local network of specialist clinical support.

What we’re looking for

To join our dedicated team, you'll need experience of providing 'hands on' patient care in a healthcare or community setting. If you haven’t worked in a hospice setting before, that is fine. We are looking for candidates with a passion for end of life care that have a broad range of skills and backgrounds, that we can add to our existing expertise.

Working in a hospice environment can be demanding and challenging, but it can also be very rewarding. We expect you to have a talent for forging strong empathetic relationships with all kinds of people. Due to the nature of the role, a flexible approach including the ability to work nights is essential. In return, provide excellent on-going training and support.
