Summary
About us:
Princess Alice Hospice is one of the top ten adult hospices in the UK, providing specialist palliative care and support to a community of more than a million people living in Surrey, South West London and Middlesex.
About the Hospice at Home team:
Our Hospice at Home service brings the skills and expertise of our highly trained and dedicated specialist team directly into our patient’s homes. This allows patients, their families, and carers access to the vital support they need at home, when time matters most.
We are deeply committed to multidisciplinary team (MDT) working. Our collaborative environment brings together a diverse group of healthcare professionals - including nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers, and more - to provide holistic, person-centred care. You’ll have the opportunity to build and support your MDT, and to maintain strong relationships with other providers, hospital teams, and GPs. This integrated approach is central to our ethos and a key part of what makes working here so rewarding.
About the role:
We are looking for an experienced Nurse Specialist to take on the important role of team leader in one of our localities. This is a unique opportunity to blend clinical care with professional leadership, overseeing your locality with autonomy while drawing on the strength of our multidisciplinary team (MDT).
You will line manage our multi-professional locality team and work closely with two other locality leads across the service, deputising for your colleagues when needed. You will adopt a person-centered, coaching approach, fostering self-coaching, team working, self-awareness, personal growth, and professional competence and development.
A minimum of 60% of your time will be spent in direct clinical care, allowing you to maintain and enhance your clinical expertise while developing your leadership skills. This role is ideal for someone aspiring to grow both clinically and professionally.
There is potential for a development role for an experienced Specialist Nurse wishing to move into leadership. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we’d love to hear from you — we’re committed to supporting and developing the right candidate.
About you:
You will be motivated, have excellent communication skills and strong leadership capabilities.
You will have a relevant degree or diploma and it’s essential that you have Palliative care or oncology and community experience.
You will ensure clinical practice is reflective of current developments in Specialist Palliative Care and End of Life Care. You will also promote a learning and continuous improvement environment and participate in the development and delivery of educational programs, research and audit.
As well as joining a caring organisation where you will be able to make a difference for our patients and their families, some of our employee benefits include:
• 27 days’ annual leave plus recognised public holidays - rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
• educational and professional development opportunities (we have an on-site Education Team)
• monthly group reflections via Schwartz Rounds sessions
• free on-site parking
• tranquil Hospice grounds
• clinical supervision (regular and we ensure its protected time)
• an annual development day - protected time for you and your learning
• subsidised meals at our on-site restaurant
• Employee Assistance Programme
• access to the Blue Light Card discount scheme
• Access to a Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus we also offer an Auto-enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice.
• Excellent changing facilities (with showers, fresh towels, and hairdryers)
• wellbeing care - we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.
If you are enthusiastic, passionate. personable and share our values and care about making a difference in the last years of someone’s life, we would love to hear from you!
