Harrogate District NHS Foundation Trust
Specialty Doctor in Palliative Care 0.6 WTE
The HDFT Palliative Care Team (PCT) provides multidisciplinary advisory support for hospital and community adult patients with advanced, progressive life-limiting illnesses who require Specialist Palliative Care (SPC). SPC input may be sought where the focus of care is on quality of life, and for patients who have unresolved complex needs that cannot be met by their current care team. These needs may be physical, psychological, social and/or spiritual.
The team is employed by HDFT and is based at Harrogate District Hospital. The service is provided Monday to Friday 8:00–16:00. Team members work predominantly in either hospital or community but provide cross cover for each other as needed. The team works closely with Saint Michael’s Hospice and other providers of PEoLC across the locality.
This role will work predominately in the community to support the team to provide support to the Macmillan Community Palliative Care Clinical Nurse Specialists, whilst managing a small caseload of patients. Although the post is community based, cross cover for the hospital-based service will form part of the role requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Candidates should have the relevant experience and be a keen advocate for PCT and system wide development in the evidence-based delivery of PEoLC. A willingness to deliver education to a variety of health care professionals and support relevant research are also required.
