We are looking for someone who is skilled in assessing and planning nursing care.

The post holder acts professionally at all times and uses their knowledge and experience to make evidence based decisions and solve problems.

They understand the roles of a range of professionals and carers from other organisations and settings who may be participating in the care of a person and their family, and their responsibilities in relation to communication and collaboration.

Our Community Nursing Team supports the needs of housebound patients living on the Wirral. We provide valuable care, supporting people to manage their long term conditions, and maximise their independence, which in turn can prevent admission into hospital or enable a quicker discharge if they admitted.

Compassion

Supportive and caring, listening to others.

Open

Communicating openly, honestly and sharing ideas.

Trust

Trusted to deliver, feeling valued and safe.

Identify risks to safety or experience and take appropriate action, putting the best interests, needs, and preferences of people first. They will contribute to on-going assessment and can recognise when it is necessary to refer to others for reassessment. The role requires the ability to be flexible and adaptable whilst working in people’s homes and other community settings. The post holder will have some responsibility for supervising less experienced or qualified staff and students in community placements. They will be expected to actively contribute to quality assurance processes and service development.
