You will be part of a larger multi-disciplinary Specialist Palliative Team,

comprising Consultants, Specialty Doctors, Clinical Nurse Specialists,

Registered Nurses and Counsellors. We work very closely with our ECCH partners,

the community.

St

Elizabeth Hospice is based in Ipswich and has supported patients and families

within the Mid-East Suffolk region for over 30 years. The Hospice extended its

reach into the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area in 2019. The Norfolk and Waveney

service which is delivered in partnership with St Elizabeth Hospice. Our most recent Care Quality Commission

report rated the hospice as Outstanding.

the construction of our new hospice in Gorleston due to commence shortly, this

is an exciting time to join St Elizabeth Hospice. The new facility will provide

both inpatient and outpatient services, representing a significant investment

in specialist palliative and end of life care across Great Yarmouth and

Waveney. As we continue to expand and develop our services, we are seeking

passionate and innovative professionals to join our Specialist Palliative Care

Therapy Team. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the delivery

of holistic care and palliative rehabilitation for people living with

progressive and life-limiting illness, helping patients maximise independence,

and transformation, this is a chance to make a genuine and lasting difference

to people's lives.
