1 week ago

Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a District Nurse to join the Sudbury Community Health Team. The team is based in the modern Health Centre in Sudbury, a historic market town surrounded by picturesque villages.

The Sudbury Community Health Centre is the base for a wide range of health professionals and agencies, including Adult Social Care, mental health services, and a GP practice. This provides the opportunity to work in a fully integrated way with other healthcare professionals.

As a District Nurse, you will be providing nursing services to patients in the community and have the chance to work in an autonomous manner with the support of the wider multi-disciplinary team within the hospital and across the West Suffolk Alliance.

Main duties of the job:

  • Manage a caseload of complex patients with healthcare needs within a designated population, using specialist knowledge to carry out assessments.
  • Assess, develop, and implement individualized and specialist nursing care programs.
  • Evaluate treatment interventions for the caseload and modify healthcare plans.
  • Encourage patients towards self-care and independence, using a health coaching approach and provide training, education, and advice.
  • Work in partnership with other services, the patient, and their family/carer to prevent inappropriate admission to acute hospital settings.
  • Support discharges into the community.
  • Support patients on the virtual ward and develop the skill set within the community team so staff can respond to a wide range of patient needs.
  • Ensure all aspects of care offered by the team meet the agreed National, Professional, and Local standards.
  • Be responsible for the coordination of the day-to-day planning and delivery of District Nursing services within the team, prioritizing clinical needs and delegating where needed to provide an effective service.

About us:

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is a busy, friendly, rural NHS Trust providing high-quality care and compassion to more than a quarter of a million people across west Suffolk.

We care for, treat, and support people in hospital, at home, and in various community settings. The West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds provides acute and secondary care services, including emergency department, maternity and neonatal services, day surgery unit, eye treatment centre, Macmillan unit, and children's ward.

Adult and paediatric community services, provided in collaboration with West Suffolk Alliance partners, include a range of nursing, therapy, specialist, and ongoing temporary care and rehabilitation, some at our Newmarket Community Hospital.

We promote a diverse and inclusive community where everyone's voice counts and you can be known for whoever you are.

You will be using a wide range of nursing skills and will need to be confident in your assessment skills and in your ability to provide safe, effective treatments while working in a community setting.

You will have the chance to be fully involved in working with the MDT and integrating with Adult Social Care, hospice, and hospital staff and will need to be committed to ongoing learning and development for yourself and the team.
