This is a developmental role, working under the direction of a Registered Nurse or other registered care professional.  The postholder will develop and maintain knowledge, skills and competencies related to the role of Children’s Palliative Nursing Associate within the service and through completion of the Nursing Associate training programme which includes working in care settings and delivery of person-centred care. The Nursing Associate training programme combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers leading to a Level 5 Foundation Degree. 

A Student Nursing Associate will remain based at their home hospice at Acorns but will experience working in alternative settings in order that they gain a wide appreciation of many health and care contexts and are able to fulfil all the requirements of the programme. 

At the end of the programme, the Student Nursing Associate will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to employment as a Nursing Associate and will work to a nationally recognised code of conduct. 

Successful completion of the Apprenticeship will lead to Registered Qualification as a Nursing Associate. After completion, your home hospice may change if there are no available vacancies at your current site.
