Summary

Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…

At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 26 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.

We have an exciting opportunity for Registered Nurses to join our team in our specialist palliative care inpatient unit in Warwick. Full time and part time positions are available.

Our Registered Nurses:

- Assess, plan, implement and evaluate programmes of patient care

- Work in a multi-disciplinary team with doctors and other healthcare professionals

- Act as a mentor for junior staff and students

This role will help our patients and their loved ones to get on top of difficult symptoms, deal with any physical pain and reduce emotional distress.

We provide an in-house training programme to support your professional development, including progression opportunities.

This is a nursing role, so it will require an enhanced DBS check, including the adults’ barred list.

with the wider health economy.

- To prioritise patient care on clinical need and organise workload as

appropriate for a team of patients and ensure handover is effective and

efficient at all times.

- Ensures that documentation is completed accurately and legibly in

accordance with local and NMC guidance and confidentiality is maintained

using Caldicott Guidelines.

- Provide emotional / spiritual support to patient and families throughout the

disease and dying trajectory and ensure effective communication at all

times.

- Work collaboratively with nursing and care teams and have a proactive

approach in facilitating discharge and ensure that standards of discharge

are implemented and maintained in liaison with the discharge co-ordinator.

- To be proactive in preparing and delivering clinical information to promote

the effectiveness of the MDT, acting as an equal member.

- Liaise with other MDT members, consultants and key workers to ensure

continuity of care for patients.

- To attend and present at case conferences and multi-disciplinary team

meetings to ensure effective communication with all members of the hospice

multi-disciplinary and primary care teams, acting as the patient’s advocate.

- To participate in clinical audit as required by the organisational requirements

and the Clinical Governance agenda.

- To ensure that high standards of nursing care are given and maintained.

- Actively contribute to developing the service to enhance the care and

support available to patients and families.
