New Romney, United Kingdom Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

We are looking for a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse to join one of our Community Nursing teams based at New Romney Clinic in New Romney, to support the development of this service.

We operate seven days a week from 08:00-18:00, with weekend shifts on a rotational basis.

We support patients from GP practices within New Romney and surrounding areas.

The teams provide nursing care to predominantly housebound patients where each team takes responsibility for a defined geographical patch, allowing good working relationships with local GPs, care homes, Social Services, voluntary organisations and other stakeholders.

The Community Nurses also provide local clinics for patients requiring their clinical skills. As the Community Staff Nurse, you are able to support a patient with nursing care delivery towards the aim of self-management.

Main duties of the job

This is a highly rewarding role, and nurses are supported to achieve all the clinical skills required with local practice educators and extended training.

Clinical areas are diverse, and include clinical skills for wound management care, end of life care, medicines administrations and IVs, bladder and bowel care, amongst other duties. Each team have two senior staff, therefore, these posts are suitable for those who are newly qualified or moving from an acute setting.

You will need your own car and are able to claim mileage costs and access the NHS car lease provision, following a probationary period.

We are rated as "outstanding" and we provide consistent, high quality care across all of our services. The Trust's priority is to make sure all colleagues are protected as we go about our daily work and through that to make sure the care we provide for patients, clients and service users remains as excellent as ever.

As a dynamic organisation, with a fast changing service provision we take a flexible approach in terms of what we are able to offer.

We are proud that KCHFT currently hold DWP Disability Confident Employer status and are working towards Disability Confident Leader accreditation. We welcome applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds and those covered by the Equalities Act.

Additional Working Pattern: Monday to Friday with rotational weekends
