We have time to care and time to have the opportunity to grow, to nurture, to support and learn.

I thought the hospice was going to be all end of life care, but as well as the ends of life and bereavement care it is also about getting to know the family and supporting on their journey, long or short, and having the time to do that. As a nurse there are not many jobs where you are able to spend quality time with a family. It really is a privilege. 

We are a very close-knit team. The type of work we do brings us together as a team.

Everyone's really encouraged to bring their own individual qualities with them to the hospice. We are supported to develop our skills further. I know I am really valued for my own specialty. We are all very much nurtured to grow. 

We get support with training, not just clinical, but support psychologically. Emotionally, we are able to develop and to grow because of the all-round holistic support that is provided.

More about being a CHSW nurse...

You will use your specialist clinical skills to help provide individualised paediatric and palliative care that puts the family at the centre of everything you do. Our beautiful, welcoming hospices provide an incredibly calming and supportive haven for families facing the death of their child.   

You will have time to develop your skills as part of a clinical, educational, psychological and holistic network across South West England, enabling you to care for our most clinically complex children with confidence.  

On a typical day you could be dealing with a tracheostomy, supporting a ventilated child or making up a syringe driver in the morning and enriching the lives of the children through fun and play in the afternoon. A rare opportunity to provide truly holistic care, ensuring dreams are fulfilled and precious memories are made.  
The care and support we provide can span many years, or be a brief moment in time, being there when families need us most. You will leave each day knowing you have made a real difference.

CHSW’s ethos is to ensure that everyone (Trustees and all staff) place babies, children, young people and their families at the centre of the organisation. In order to achieve this, everyone will be expected to promote a strong, caring community environment characterised by sensitivity, consideration and responsiveness to others. CHSW will provide an excellent working environment and strive to be an employer of choice for equivalent organisations in the same sector.

We provide expert holistic and family centred care for babies, children, young people and their families living with life-limiting illnesses across the South West of England. This is delivered through our 3 hospices; Little Bridge House in North Devon, Charlton Farm in North Somerset and Little Harbour in Cornwall. Through our region-wide network of staff and supporters we raise awareness of the babies, children, young people and families whose needs we serve.
