Nurses and healthcare professionals are being invited to on-the-spot informal interviews and to learn more about careers in palliative care at a series of clinical jobs days.

We are hosting two days to showcase current vacancies for nursing and healthcare professionals. The drop-in days are being held between 8am and 5pm at Apley Castle, Telford on January 26 and Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury on January 27.

Opportunities

As a hospice that specialises in palliative and end-of-life care, we are keen to attract both experienced clinicians and those at the beginning of their careers and we have a range of roles currently vacant as we prepare to reopen our Shrewsbury ward in June following a £3 million makeover and extension.

Caring

Clare Gregory, the hospice’s newly appointed Director of Care said: “At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to providing high-quality care to people living with incurable illness. To do that well, we rely on dedicated, skilled and compassionate clinicians and practitioners.

“We’re keen to welcome more people to join our team, whether they’re an experienced clinician or newly qualified and at the start of their career. We currently have a range of opportunities and our jobs day is a relaxed and informal way to find out more.

“There’s no need to book – anyone is welcome to drop in, meet members of our team and hear first-hand what working here is really like. We’ll also be offering informal on-the-day interviews, so do bring your CV if you can. We’d love to meet you.”

As well as permanent positions for Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and Healthcare Assistants there will also be the opportunities to join the hospice’s bank nursing team.

Rewarding

Karla Lawton, a registered nurse who has worked at the hospice for five years said:

“I’ve never been prouder to say I am a nurse at Severn Hospice. I have always had a passion for care, especially end of life. Working in palliative care is incredibly rewarding because you have the time to truly care and make such a meaningful difference to other people’s lives at the most challenging of times.

“This is a really supportive and positive place to work, where compassion and teamwork are front and centre. It’s also a fantastic place to learn and develop my skills.

“If you’re curious about hospice care or looking for a role where you can make a real impact, I’d really encourage you to come along and find out more.”
