Providing education and support to healthcare professionals to enhance knowledge and promote high-quality palliative and end-of-life care across the organisation. Contributing to service development and quality improvement initiatives to continually improve patient care and service delivery. The successful candidate will demonstrate: Excellent communication skills with the ability to provide sensitive and complex information, build therapeutic relationships and support patients and families during challenging situations Strong clinical assessment and prioritisation skills, with the ability to work autonomously and manage a varied caseload of patients.
