Band 5 Registered Nurse - Inpatient Unit

Are you a highly motivated, dynamic Nurse who is passionate about delivering the highest quality of care?

Would you like to be part of a committed and supportive multi-disciplinary team that delivers empowering and compassionate care?

Would you like the opportunity to develop your clinical knowledge and skills within palliative care?

If so a Registered Nurse role at St Peters Hospice could be for you.

We are expanding and looking for Band 5 RN’s to join our team within the Inpatient Unit. It is desirable, but not essential for you to have any previous palliative care experience, as you will receive a full induction and ongoing support and development from the IPU Sisters, Practice Education team and our in-house Education Team.

As part of a supportive and committed team, you will be involved in the planning and provision of specialist palliative care for our patients and in supporting their families. You will also work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team to ensure a holistic approach to care.

This is an opportunity to join a well-respected hospice care provider with a reputation for excellence. In return we can offer you:

• Attractive terms and conditions similar to the NHS
• Band 5 equivalent salary from £32,073 to £39,043 per year (FTE)
• Opportunities for continual professional development
• In-house education support
• Seeking working hours of 37.5 hours per week, or 30 hours per week for the right candidate
• We operate a rotating shift pattern which includes weekend and night shifts within a flexible shift time pattern.
• Free parking and onsite cafe
• Paid DBS check

Shortlisting: 24th September 2026

Interview Dates: 6th October, 8th October and 9th October

Applicants must have at least a years recent clinical experience in the trust or community. Newly qualified individuals are encouraged to contact the team for an informal chat to discuss clinical experience before application.

About Us

We’ve spent over 40 years helping people die in peace, and with dignity. Combining compassion with clinical expertise, we provide patients with the best possible care at the end of their lives.

We’re here for the people around our patients too – those closest to them. Before, during and after a bereavement, we provide support that’s remembered forever.

We think it’s that unforgettable support that inspires people to give back to St Peter’s. To fundraise for us. Donate. Volunteer. We’re not exaggerating when we say that we couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful supporters. We really can’t thank them enough.

We want to help many more people to die well. And we’re doing this by teaching others. As a centre of educational excellence, we share our skills with other health professionals, helping the NHS and care homes to provide better end-of-life care.

We’re here for all, for free, forever.

Equity and Diversity

We want our teams to reflect the diversity of our community – and we want everyone to feel that they belong. That’s why we’ve joined ENEI: Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion. This is a UK based, not-for-profit organisation that helps employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures. We’re really pleased to have ENEI supporting us on our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion journey.

Just as we offer care to all, we welcome applications from everyone. We want to hear from you regardless of your age, disability, religion or belief, sex, race, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity.
