Dedicated staff from Nottinghamshire Hospice in Mapperley are the stars of a unique new advertising campaign being launched in a bid to attract more people to its care team.
A wave of new posters, blogs and social media will be drawing attention to what it’s like caring for people who are dying.
In the campaign they are highlighting the unique type of care Nottinghamshire Hospice provides, and the benefits of working for the charity.
It’s hoped this will attract new nurses and healthcare assistants to join their Hospice In Your Home team, enabling them to deliver even more care to people who need it.
Be Jackson, a Nottinghamshire Hospice Nurse, is one of the stars of the new campaign.
She said: “The more I did the hospice work, the more I could feel like this is where my heart is. It fits a lot more with my personal values and how I want to nurse. I don’t want nursing to be a conveyor belt. I don’t want to be surviving a shift thinking ‘I wish I had more time to support that family.’”
Rachel Hucknall, CEO at Nottinghamshire Hospice, said: “Our team of compassionate care staff are at the beating heart of everything we do at the Hospice. Their dedication to providing people with a good death, surrounded by home comforts and loved ones, is truly wonderful.”
Kathy Page, Lead Nurse for Nottinghamshire Hospice’s Hospice In Your Home service added: “We’re all trying to bring comfort to patients and families… it’s nice to be able to come in and find that people are smiling and laughing. It’s a real pleasure to do.”
There are a variety of paid roles being recruited by the Hospice, and the charity is eager to receive new applicants.
The posters for the campaign can be seen at tram stops and on buses for all of September, and full stories from their staff are on their website.
