You will work alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team both at LOROS and across the wider health and social care community, including the neurology department at UHL and social services.
You will need to have well-developed interpersonal skills, experience and be passionate for caring for patients with MND and/or other neurological conditions. Community experience and experience of supporting patients with palliative and end of life care needs would also be beneficial.
