We are looking for a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse to join one of our well-established Community Nursing teams based at New Romney Clinic, to support the development of this service. Being a well-established team, it can offer experience and knowledge to support own growth.
The service operates seven days a week from 08:00 - 16:00, with occasional late shifts of 10:00 – 18:00 on a rotational basis.
The team supports patients from GP practices within the Marsh PCN Primary Care Network (PCN). This PCN covers the New Romney, Dymchurch, and Lydd areas and surrounding villages.
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 will support patients with nursing care delivery towards the aim of self-management.
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 administration and IVs, bladder and bowel care, amongst other duties.
Staff will be required to drive their own car and have a full, clean driving licence. They are able to claim mileage costs and access the NHS car lease provision, following their probationary period.
Together we can empower you to make a difference in patients’ lives. The very different world we are living in at the moment has given us the opportunity to rethink how we provide our services here at KCHFT.
Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we have a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this, we need outstanding people who share our values: Compassionate, Aspirational, Responsive, Excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
As a flexible working-friendly organisation, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
