This job is now closed

Job summary

To provide skilled nursing care working under the supervision of the Community Nurse Team Lead and Deputy Team Lead to patients in a variety of community settings. We believe community nursing gives dedicated healthcare professionals the opportunity to spend more time with the patients you care for in their own environment and work collaboratively with other clinicians to provide more coordinated care.

The post holder will undertake community nursing duties involving delivery of nursing services and holistic assessments of patient's health needs using a person-centred approach. This includes providing quality and seamless nursing care to housebound patients and being proactive in co-ordinating their care needs as appropriate, avoiding unnecessary admission to hospital or long-term care institutions. In addition, the post holder will be involved in facilitating self- care for patients with long term conditions, health promotion and innovative activities and projects that enhance patient service delivery.
