St Luke’s are recruiting Staff Nurses to join the nursing team on the in-patient unit. The IPU delivers palliative and end of life care for patients with complex palliative care needs. The IPU prides itself in the delivery of an exceptional standard of nursing care. As a result the IPU enjoys a particularly good nurse to patient ratio to support that standard of care.
We would welcome applications from registered nurses with a passion for delivering quality, evidence based care and a particular interest in palliative/end of life care. Post registration experience in a variety of areas and a palliative care qualification would be an advantage/desirable, but not essential. Internal rotation to nights and weekends will be a requirement of the post.
In return, employment with St Luke’s Hospice offers excellent opportunities to develop your skills, a challenging working environment, a supportive team and the chance to continue membership of the NHS Pension Scheme for existing members.
As a staff member of St Luke’s, you will receive an attractive employment package, which includes 7 weeks annual leave rising with service (including bank holidays) and membership to a cash back health plan. St Luke’s is committed to the development of its staff.
Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced clearance will be required for this post.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
