Brackley Community Hospital is an inpatient facility based in the south of Northamptonshire which opened in March 2021. The ward is situated with a wide range of services co-located in it, and therefore we need somebody who is open to new ways of working on the ward and developing strong links with other services and the wider community.
Please come and join our highly skilled, motivated, and innovative team including medics, nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists all ward-based to ensure that our patients receive the best possible individualized care in single rooms.
Brackley Community Hospital is one of five Community Hospitals within Northamptonshire that work closely to share best practices and develop services for our local population.
As a Staff Nurse, you will have a unique opportunity to help us shape the new inpatient hospital and ward team. We want to create an effective and high-performing team which you can be part of from the very beginning, making a positive difference and delivering outstanding care.
The post holder will need to provide quality care for a group of patients, specializing in rehabilitation and sub-acute care from patients stepping down from acute hospitals and step-up patients for acute hospital admission avoidance in a physical health inpatient unit.

1. Assess the healthcare needs of patients and develop care plans reflecting their needs.
2. Monitor the quality of care they're receiving.
3. Work closely with the MDT to set goals towards discharge.
4. Carry out clinical skills such as complex medication administration, intravenous medications and fluid administration, syringe pump use, enteral feeding, complex wound care, and catheterization.
