An exciting opportunity to help shape the future of specialist palliative care...
Specialist Palliative Care Clinician – Hospice Community Service
This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the development and delivery of an innovative out-of-hospice specialist palliative care service, working collaboratively across Wakefield Hospice and The Prince of Wales Hospice.
You'll combine hands-on specialist clinical care with leadership, service development and partnership working—helping patients avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and supporting more people to receive compassionate care in the place they choose.
As the SPCC, you will provide expert clinical leadership while helping to design and embed a new model of care that delivers timely, coordinated and person-centred support for patients and families across the Wakefield district. You will work closely with colleagues, community partners and the wider multidisciplinary team to improve access to specialist palliative care, reduce avoidable hospital admissions where appropriate, and enable more people to receive care in the place they choose.
This secondment offers an excellent opportunity to:
- Contribute to the design and implementation of an innovative community service.
- Develop leadership, service improvement and partnership working experience.
- Influence how specialist palliative care is delivered across organisational boundaries.
- Work alongside experienced colleagues from two hospices with a shared commitment to excellence.
- Make a lasting difference to patients, families and the future of hospice care.
We are looking for an experienced clinician with a passion for person-centred care, excellent communication and leadership skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across teams and organisations. If you are motivated by service development, innovation and improving patient outcomes, we would welcome your application.
