This is an exciting stage in the development of the hospice as we begin to implement new models of care, arising from our recently developed strategy, with the patient at the centre of everything we do. To support this, we require to enhance our medical team with an additional Specialty Doctor. Working primarily within our 8 bedded inpatient unit, but also with involvement in our community work, you will make a vital contribution to the multi-professional care of our patients and families.
We are looking for people with energy and enthusiasm to work closely with nursing and other multi-professional staff to ensure the delivery of high-quality care. Ideally you will have some experience of working within palliative and/or hospice care or have relevant alternative experience.
This is a unique opportunity suitable for doctors in other specialties who wish to develop their palliative care knowledge and skills OR those with at least 4 years post qualification with IMT or GP experience who would like to further enhance their existing skills. For those with less prior experience, induction and training will be provided, alongside support to complete a palliative care certificate.
You will be joining a friendly, experienced, and supportive multi-professional team who offer stimulating and rewarding opportunities in caring for people at some of the most challenging times of their lives. Our staff really do make a difference every single day and we welcome applications from passionate, committed, and flexible individuals who would welcome the chance to shape the future care delivered by Ardgowan Hospice.
