About Us
Rowans Hospice is a charity that provides free care and support to adults and their families living in the Portsmouth and South-East Hampshire region who have a life-limiting illness. Established in 1994, our income is generated by ongoing support of the local community, donations, legacies, fundraising and through our retail shops.
The Role
The position of Specialty Doctor is a permanent post subject to successful probationary period. This is a less than full time post (5 clinical PA, 1 SPA) with the job plan subject to mutual agreement. The role may include placements within our community partner teams, coverage of the Palliative Care Support Hub (telephone advice line) and work within our Emergency End of Life Support Team (EELRT) and Day Case Intervention service subject to clinical need.

We offer support for those seeking progression to Specialist, and there is scope for involvement in education, service development, Clinical Supervision and Appraisal within your SPA time. You will have access to Appraisal processes and SAS support and resources via an honorary contract with our community Trust (HIOWH).
