Our busy District Nursing teams along the coast of sunny Bournemouth are looking for Band 5 community Staff Nurses to join their teams. Applicants can be newly qualified or experienced, as full training and support will be offered. We are looking for dynamic, motivated individuals who wish to provide high standard nursing care to people in their own homes.
The successful individual must be able to drive and have access to a car.
This is a fixed term role and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please obtain permission to be released on a secondment before submitting an application.
Main duties of the job
The role includes wound care, palliative care, IV drug administration, medication/injection administration, diabetes management, and many other diverse skills.
We have both full and part-time vacancies available. There will be an expectation for the successful candidates to work weekends, late shifts, and bank holidays pro rata. Our late shift covers until 8pm.
With excellent links to local universities, the training and development we are able to offer is first class, allowing rapid upskilling and support with new skills. Newly qualified staff will have access to a preceptorship program and a specific clinical upskilling program to support their transition from student to RGN.
We would welcome applications from newly qualified nurses and we provide a very comprehensive and fully supported Preceptorship Programme for newly qualified healthcare professionals.
