To assess, provide and review nursing care, advice and information to patients and carers within the home environment or alternative care setting.

About the Role
Are you passionate about creating excitement for new challenges and promoting an atmosphere of support in the workplace? Do you embrace new ideas? Are you someone who works hard during your working hours but appreciates a work/life balance? Then this is the cluster you should work in.
The NHS is under pressure, impacting staffing, sickness, and retention, making it vital to look after each other’s health and wellbeing to care for the population effectively. Being kind, communicating well, and being approachable should not be underestimated.
We are looking for an individual who stands out from the rest: someone dynamic, enthusiastic, and showing natural leadership qualities. Someone who will embrace change and recognises the importance of their own emotional intelligence and how this impacts each individual in the team, team function, and service delivery.
The successful candidate will need to ensure that high standards of Nursing Care are delivered to patients on the team caseload and be responsible for addressing any areas of poor performance and identifying and promoting service improvement. You will be encouraged to engage in decision-making daily.
You will be a pivotal part of the Integrated Health and Social Care team to provide multidisciplinary working that will enhance care delivery to the patients. Clinical skills for the role include Catheterisation, Venepuncture, Wound Care, Compression bandaging, Hickman/Picc Line management, and End of life care. Previous experience in a leadership role would be desirable.
The Community Nursing Team is skill mixed with registrants and non-registrants, and you will be expected to share up-to-date learning with your peers to support and develop the team to deliver excellence.
You will be provided with regular supervision and support with ongoing professional development as identified in your annual appraisal.
If all of this resonates with you, then Louise Hemmens, Community Nurse Team Manager for Honiton and Ottery St Mary, would like to hear from you!
