An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Parkinson’s Disease Specialist Nurse. In this challenging and rewarding role you will be providing a quality service to people living with Parkinson’s Disease from the time of diagnosis until the end of life.
As a proactive individual with advanced communication skills, you will be working with Parkinson’s Disease patients and their carers and with the multi-disciplinary team based in the Acute Trust. You will also establish links with local community services and ensuring a seamless service for patients across all sectors. You will play a pivotal part in supporting and ensuring the changing needs of the Parkinson’s Disease patient are met including when they access acute services.
Your role will include delivering education and training to other health care professionals about Parkinson’s Disease across SaTH. You will establish appropriate monitoring to ensure quality and safety of the service and participate in relevant audit and governance meetings.

The successful applicant will have relevant current or recent experience in caring for patients with Parkinson’s disease and other chronic diseases. You will be team player with strong organisational skills and substantial post registration experience.
We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.
We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.
By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
