Senior Community Nurse
The closing date is 19 May 2025
Job summary
HIOW Healthcare are looking for an inspirational registered nurse to work as a Senior Community Nurse. Community Nurses work autonomously and as part of a team and care is delivered in the patient's own home environment and designated treatment rooms. Our nurses are responsible for a manageable caseload, working across the city ensuring our patients are receiving the best quality care from the comfort of their own homes and thereby avoiding hospital admission.
HIOW Healthcare's Community Nursing is much wider than the nursing team. We work alongside our colleagues within Social Care, our Internal Safeguarding Team, specialist services (both within Solent and external providers) to ensure our patients are provided with the care they require. Working collaboratively enhances staff development but also ensures that our patients are at the heart of everything we do.
This is a full time role based at Oakley Road located in Southampton. Our working patterns are across a 7 day week. Our core shifts are 0830 to 1630 and 1400 to 2200 hours. There is also a requirement that you will work 1 in 4 weekends as well as bank holidays.
Although a lone worker, you will be supported by an experienced and nurturing team who are available to allow you to develop your existing skills. You will be provided the training you require to maintain and develop your clinical skills. This will be achieved by attending appropriate training and working with our Clinical Educators and other staff within the team.
Main duties of the job
To work in partnership with Primary Care to provide high quality clinical care for patients, often with complex care needs, living in the community, who require a programme of care/rehabilitation following an inpatient episode or who are living with long term conditions and are at risk of deteriorating health that may result in declining quality of life.
To support the Clinical Manager and Integrated Service Matron in providing clinical knowledge and leadership to the community nursing staff in the wider locality health team, supervising and developing junior staff and contributing to the achievement of divisional business delivery objectives.
To work collaboratively with partners in health and social care, to establish a whole systems approach to managing patients with complex care needs, maintaining a "community pull" on patients being admitted to secondary care, to inform decisions about acute interventions and to lead in the discharge planning.
