As a Staff Nurse working as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team, you will support patients with complex clinical needs and provide hands-on, person-centred care. Our staff strive to provide the highest quality of service for our patients and their families and carers, through a collaborative team approach.

Bolton Hospice's consultant-led team of doctors, nurses and other professional staff provide expert care and support for local people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families, in the hospice and at home.

We are currently seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated Registered Nurse to work within the Inpatient Unit at Bolton Hospice. This will be an exciting and rewarding opportunity for anyone wishing to further develop their nursing skills and knowledge within specialist palliative care.
