Senior Registered Nurse

Are you an experienced Registered Nurse looking for the opportunity to take on more responsibility while continuing to provide exceptional patient care? Join Prospect Hospice’s inpatient unit in Wroughton, where you’ll combine expert clinical care with leadership, helping to shape exceptional palliative and end\-of\-life care for patients and families.

Working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team, you’ll have the time to deliver outstanding person\-centred care while leading shifts, supporting colleagues and helping maintain the high standards our patients deserve.

We’re looking for people who embody our values. In our latest staff survey, 100% of colleagues said they would be happy for a friend or relative to receive care here, while 98% said their work has meaning and purpose.

Hours: 36 hours per week over 7 days (with flexibility to work both days and nights.) Part time hours considered.

What is the role?

As a Senior Registered Nurse, you’ll combine hands\-on clinical care with day\-to\-day leadership, helping coordinate shifts, supporting colleagues and ensuring patients receive exceptional palliative and end\-of\-life care.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading shifts and coordinating patient care


• Delivering expert palliative and end\-of\-life nursing


• Supporting and mentoring Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants and students


• Working closely with the multidisciplinary team


• Promoting safe, high\-quality, person\-centred care across the inpatient unit

This is an ideal opportunity if you’re looking to develop your leadership skills without moving away from direct patient care.

Previous hospice experience isn’t essential. If you’re an experienced Registered Nurse with the confidence to support colleagues, lead shifts and develop your leadership skills, we’ll provide specialist training and ongoing professional development.

There will be a requirement to work shifts in the community and work flexibly across both teams as needed.

Why you’ll enjoy this role

• Low nurse\-to\-patient ratio


• Time to provide the care patients deserve


• Opportunity to lead shifts and develop leadership skills


• Supportive multidisciplinary team


• Ongoing professional development


• Positive team culture

“*The team on the inpatient unit and the wider Multidisciplinary team has a strong sense of teamwork and everyone works together to provide the best care for patients and their families. The unit has a positive and supportive culture, where I have felt valued and encouraged to develop, learn new skills and progress in my career. The thing I enjoy most about working on the unit is having the time to provide the quality of care that you want to give and that patients and families truly deserve which makes it an enjoyable place to work*.” *Alison – Senior Registered Nurse*

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is an experienced Registered Nurse with current NMC registration


• Enjoys leading and supporting others to deliver excellent care


• Has excellent communication and clinical decision\-making skills


• Can work confidently within a multidisciplinary team


• Has experience in palliative care, hospice, oncology or another complex care setting (desirable)

You’ll also participate in our Senior Nurse on\-call rota and have opportunities to contribute to service development, education and clinical governance.

Join a team where your leadership is valued, your wellbeing is prioritised and you’ll be making a lasting difference every day.
