Based in Carlisle, we have a 10-bed inpatient unit, day hospice and childrens hospice.

Jigsaw is a place of fun and laughter where children and young adults can stay and create memories which will last a lifetime. Our team provides one to one care for children and young adults with life limiting illnesses. Our home from home environment allows the nurses to match the children and young adults home routines as closely as possible, ensuring a smooth, relaxing and peaceful transition between home and hospice environments.

Our environment differs from most. You will be working as part of a supportive and welcoming multidisciplinary team with time to care for and build relationships with children, young people and their families. We also work collaboratively across the county with strong links to other care providers. Nursing roles within Jigsaw are incredibly fulfilling.

The hospices vision is to provide excellence in specialist palliative care and to ensure patients receive consistently high standards of care in all care settings within the organisation.

Eden Valley Hospice provides a creative and unique environment with many opportunities for personal and professional growth and pay progression.

You will be required to work various shifts across the week (12 hours) on rotation between days, nights and weekends. Due to our culture of training and development, we would strongly encourage applications from newly qualified nurses, who will be supported with a preceptorship programme.

Our clinical teams are at the heart of everything we do.
