Job Description

We have a great opportunity for Senior Nurse Assessors to join our award-winning End of Life Hub, ECHO. This is a unique collaboration with partners across coastal West Sussex, including our two local hospices, the acute Trust, and a specialist Macmillan team. We provide a single point of access for end of life coordination which provides triage, navigation and signposting to appropriate sources of care and support for patients in the last year of their life. This is a non patient-facing role. The aim of this service is to provide a responsive, dynamic, flexible partnership approach for patients registered to the service. We are looking for people who have experience in community care in any setting, have excellent clinical and communication skills, and want to help make a difference to patients who are in their final stages of life. Palliative care experience would be an advantage. You will be passionate about end of life care and have a good knowledge of frailty, with the ability to learn and develop as needed. Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential. You will be part of an expanding team based in Lancing, and the role will predominantly be one of telephone triage, liaison and coordination of existing and new patients in their last year of life. This position will include shifts ranging between 7am and 3pm or 11am and 7pm on a four week rolling rota. The service covers seven days a week, 24 hours a day. So, if you're looking for that next challenge, and want to make a difference to patients and those closer to them in their final stage of life, then we want to hear from you. Full and part time hours considered. For further details / informal visits contact: Ronnie O'Connor 07768 326524 r.o'connor@nhs.net Employment Type: FULL_TIME
