including horses, to visit.”
Pauline said: “I love working here as it’s a small unit with just nine beds and there is a very good ratio of staff to patients. This means all patients are given a proper amount of time and nothing is rushed, so patients receive quality care. The team here has been hugely welcoming and they really listen to your ideas and take them on board.”
Pauline works a 30-hour week and her commute takes her around 20 minutes. One of the things she appreciates working at the hospice is the great work/life balance and the fact that all the senior staff are committed to maintaining an excellent work/life balance. The management is also very encouraging about staff doing further training and education.
Pauline also really enjoys living in Northamptonshire and has found there is a real mix of people. She lives in a tiny village called Cogonhoe, which overlooks the valley of the River Nene and is eight miles from Northampton. The village is very unchanged and there are no new houses.
She added: “I love the greenery, the tiny villages and the laid-back feel of Northamptonshire. My three grown up children still live in Scotland and I go back regularly, but I love the quality of life in Northamptonshire.”
Northampton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) is recruiting palliative care nurses to fill permanent full-time and part-time vacancies at the Cynthia Spencer Hospice, the Cransley Hospice and within the community, Hospice at Home team.
