Are you a Registered Nurse seeking a new opportunity where you can make a vital difference?
St Luke's Hospice Plymouth is recruiting a Staff Nurse to join the highly respected, friendly nursing team at our inpatient unit (IPU) in the beautiful setting of Turnchapel, Plymouth.
Our IPU team prides itself on providing palliative and end of life care of the highest standard for patients with complex care needs, relieving their pain and maintaining their dignity.
As a result, the IPU enjoys a particularly good nurse to patient ratio (typically 1:3) to support this standard of care.
While the role we are recruiting to is a challenging one, it is highly rewarding and you will be part of a supportive team working in a positive environment where all our staff and volunteers are valued.
If you're a Registered Nurse with a passion for delivering high-calibre, evidence-based care and have a particular interest in palliative/end of life care, we'd love to hear from you. Post- registration experience in a variety of areas and a palliative care qualification would be advantageous, but are not essential. Internal rotation to nights and weekends will be a requirement of the post.
In return, you'll benefit from excellent opportunities to develop your skills, plus the chance to continue membership of the NHS Pension Scheme for existing members.
Working with us, you will receive an attractive employment package: seven weeks' annual leave (including bank holidays) rising with service, free onsite parking, and membership of a cashback health plan.

These include people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people and LGBTQ+ people.

Why work for St Luke's?
Hello and thank you for checking out our current vacancy.
It's worth setting up a job alert or simply checking back in regularly because - as St Luke's continues to meet the demand of caring for more families - we're always evolving and new opportunities spring up, both clinical and non-clinical. One of them could be just what you're looking for!
We value all our people - not only our specialist doctors, nurses and social workers, but also our colleagues more behind the scenes, from our maintenance and catering staff to our fundraisers, administrators, educators and IT team. And that's just to name a few! It takes a vast variety of skills, experience and knowledge to keep our vital service running smoothly.
As an Employer of Choice, we offer our staff a wide range of benefits and rewards. Not only generous annual leave and pension schemes, but a fantastic health scheme to help towards the cost of eye tests, dental care and physiotherapy. In addition, this gives you access a GP, and counselling and practical information helplines, 24/7.
While working with our hospice is hugely rewarding, knowing you're helping us make such an important difference, we recognise it's work that can be challenging emotionally. That's why, when you join us, we'll be here to support you all the way.
