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

Acorns provides care for babies, children and young people, who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, both in our hospices and in their homes. Our nurses are part of a supportive, multi-disciplinary team delivering care packages that are tailored to each child’s individual holistic needs – and we’re structured so that you’ll simply ‘have the time to care’.

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. 

As a Bank Hospice Nurse, you will: 

  • Work ad hoc shifts to cover absence
  • Assess, plan and deliver care to babies, children and young people, using a systematic approach and creating an individualised care plan.
  • Planning food choices, organise trips and support families
