Helpline Specialist Nurse
We are delighted to be expanding our clinical team and are looking for two dedicated and motivated nurses who can provide accurate, clear and practical verbal and written information and support.
The successful candidate will have relevant clinical knowledge and experience in end of life care alongside excellent communication skills, enabling them to convey complex information in a straightforward and sensitive way by phone and email. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion of a growing nurse-led information service which not only delivers direct support to people via our helpline, but also drives improvements in practice. This is a new permanent position, with potential to develop within the role.
We are looking for two part-time nurses, each working three days per week.
