Acorns Children's Hospice Trust are looking for qualified bank nurses for our Birmingham Hospice to assess, plan and deliver holistic care to life-limited and life-threatened children and young people at the hospice.
About The Role
At Acorns Children’s Hospice, we provide specialist palliative care for children, and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and we support their families through every step of their journey, and through transition. Our work is defined by compassion, expertise, and an unwavering belief that every child deserves comfort, dignity, and the chance to experience joy.
Each hospice is purpose-built with individually decorated rooms overlooking our gardens. We try to make it as welcoming and friendly as possible – a homely environment for the children, young people and their families.
