**Base**: Pyle Life Centre

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably qualified and experienced Healthcare Support Worker to join the District Nursing Service. The applicant must be confident and competent in a wide range of clinical skills. There is a requirement for a flexible approach to work and for ability to travel between sites in a timely manner.

The applicant will hold Level 3 NVQ/QSF in a health care associated certificate or possess skills, knowledge and experience to equivalent level, and be prepared to commit to begin this qualification within 3 months of commencing in the role.

The post holder will work as a member of the District Nursing Service under the direction and supervision of the Team Leader District Nursing.

The post holder will contribute to the implementation of nursing care as assessed and prescribed by the Registered Nurse. This will include working in a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency arena alongside the primary health care team.

There are multiple demands in this exciting role due to the challenging nature of providing care for patients outside of the hospital environment. The post-holder will however find themselves well supported by a very friendly and enthusiastic team of staff.

The post is initially based with the Bridgend West District Nursing Team although you could be asked to work across the Locality to meet the needs of the Service.

A proficiency to undertake venepuncture is essential for this role.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is part of the NHS Wales family. Our Health Board provides primary, secondary and community health and wellbeing services to around 450,000 people living in three County Boroughs: Bridgend Merthyr Tydfil, and Rhondda Cynon Taf.

**We live by our core values**:
We listen, learn and improve

We treat everyone with respect

We all work together as one team

We are a proud local employer; around 80% of our 15000 workforce live within our region, making our staff not only our lifeblood of our organisation but of the diverse communities that we serve.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board provides a District Nursing Service that is committed to the principles of holistic nursing care. Underpinning this, the service aims to offer the highest level of clinical excellence and advanced practice with a local community focus. District Nurses play a crucial role within the primary and community healthcare settings and we visit to provide care to patients in their own homes across Cwm Taf Morgannwg. As a nursing service we are committed to working with our patients and also those important to them. We aim to support patients to manage their own conditions and to provide nursing interventions and treatments for those in need, thereby avoiding unnecessary admission or readmission to hospital whenever possible.

It is predicted that the demand for District Nursing services is certain to increase because of a growing elderly population, reduced length of hospital stays and the move to treat more patients, often with complex care needs, in the community. Across Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, the number of people aged 85 and over is expected to more than double by 2036 alongside increasing numbers of the population living with one or more chronic conditions (WG, 2013).
