Claire House Childrens Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children live life to the fullest by creating wonderful experiences and bringing back a sense of normality to family life. By providing specialist nursing, end-of-life care, and emotional support, Claire House supports families through some of the toughest times of their lives.
Claire House has a team of trained professionals who are as passionate about what they do as they are talented at doing it. Our staff includes nurses, physiotherapists, play specialists, and counsellors.
We have two sites, a full hospice on the Wirral and a second site in West Derby, Liverpool, offering day-care, complementary therapies, clinics, play and music sessions, and counselling.
But Claire House is about far more than just care. It offers places for children to relax and enjoy themselves, whatever their age. At our site on the Wirral, they can have fun in our multi-sensory room, art room, hydrotherapy pool and jacuzzi. There is a separate wing complete with a sound system and Xbox for teenagers and young adults.
Whilst their children are having fun, mums and dads get the chance to enjoy some much-needed time off together or the opportunity to spend time with their other children.
Not all families want to come to the hospice or our Liverpool site, so our team goes out to visit them in hospital or their homes and we put on regular trips for brothers and sisters to ensure they dont miss out on having fun.
The Young Adult Team at Claire House children and young adult hospice are delighted to offer this unique opportunity for a Band 5 nurse to join the team.
We are looking for a proactive and dynamic individual, capable of working across various teams and services within the organisation and across statutory services. The individual needs to be an excellent communicator, who can prioritise, manage their own caseload and work autonomously.
Within the small young adult team we cover transition support, palliative transition and we have our own caseload of teenagers and young adults who get their own bespoke offer tailored to their needs focusing on the benefits of social interaction.
This role is full-time (37.5hrs) and can be worked flexibly across 4 days, with an expectation to work flexibility over a 7-day period if needed, with an option to work at home 1 day a week; dependent on need.
The main responsibilities would centre around working across social group sessions, day to day key work for the case load, support with palliative transition, attending joint clinic appointments at adult hospices, general networking and collaborative working with various teams across the NHS. There will also be some collaborative working with the wider team of care coordination and planned community care to provide clinical support and caseload work including care planning.
