Vitalis Médical Aix-en-Provence has announced an active recruitment campaign for State-Diplomaed Nurses (Infirmiers Diplômés d’État) to staff a palliative care unit at a private clinic in Marseille, according to recruitment announcements published across specialized medical employment platforms.
The temporary interim assignment is scheduled to run from August 10, 2026, through December 31, 2026, offering full-time work with hourly wages ranging between 20 € and 26 €. The recruitment targets qualified professionals equipped to manage complex end-of-life care in the Bouches-du-Rhône region.
According to position listings shared by Vitalis Médical Aix-en-Provence and Annonces-Médicales.com, the role demands rigorous clinical competence combined with compassionate patient support in an environment where multidisciplinary teamwork is paramount.
Clinical Responsibilities in Palliative Care
Nurses selected for the Marseille assignment will shoulder core clinical responsibilities centered on pain management and patient comfort. According to verified job specifications, daily duties include evaluating and continuously adjusting pain relief protocols in close coordination with referring physicians.
Professionals will administer and adjust prescribed analgesic and sedative treatments while adhering strictly to palliative care standards. Beyond pharmacology, the role emphasizes attentive clinical surveillance, proactive comfort measures, and emotional support for both patients and their families.
The position also requires supervising nursing assistants in specialized end-of-life care tasks, including patient positioning, pressure ulcer prevention, oral care, and sensory comfort. Furthermore, nurses will take an active part in multidisciplinary team debriefings and peer support sessions designed to help staff process the emotional weight inherent in palliative units.
Candidate Requirements and Legal Mandates
Applicants must hold a mandatory French State Diploma in Nursing (Diplôme d’État Infirmier), along with active registration with the national nursing order (Ordre) and an ADELI registry number.
In accordance with the French Valletoux law, candidates must present a minimum of two years of professional experience outside of temporary agency work. While general nursing experience is required, prior background in palliative care units (USP) or end-of-life accompaniment is strongly favored by the hiring agency.
According to Annonces-Médicales.com, successful applicants will demonstrate discretion, active listening skills, and strong personal resilience to balance demanding caregiving duties with self-care.
