Hide AdKelly Bartram, who joined Ashgate Hospice as an inpatient unit nurse in 2021, says working for the hospice “fills her with an overwhelming sense of achievement”.
“I had come to a bit of a standstill with my career and was ready for a change and a new challenge. When the job at Ashgate came up I just knew I needed to apply. I really felt as though this could be my niche.
“From bed baths and toileting to painting nails, applying makeup, and even getting patients a glass of their favourite tipple – we endeavour to ensure families know that nothing is too much trouble.
“Knowing we so often manage to achieve comfort and peace at the end of life for our patients, their families and people close to them fills me with an overwhelming sense of achievement.

On the day, attendees will get the opportunity to speak to current nurses, the HR team and clinical leads to find out about what a career at Ashgate is like. They will also receive a tour of the hospice. It comes as healthcare providers across the UK continue to struggle with a nationwide shortage of nurses.
Matt Corbishley, director of people and performance at Ashgate Hospice, added: “We are looking for nurses to join our award-winning inpatient unit team to help deliver our outstanding palliative and end of life care.”
Anyone interested in attending must register their interest by ordering an e-ticket for the event in advance. Go to Ashgate Hospice’s website ashgatehospice.org.uk/ to find out more.
