The NHS is changing. More emphasis on community-based care means there’s never been a better time to join us.
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the condition.
We have an opportunity for a qualified and skilled Team Leader to join our Community Nursing Team based in Folkestone.
The community nursing service provides case load management for housebound patients to support their nursing needs and enabling them to self-care. Nurses within the team are supported to develop advanced skills to manage the complexity of patients seen.
Community nurses are also supported through the Specialist Practitioner course, recognising community nursing as a specialism within the NMC.
As a Band 6 Team Leader, you will work closely with the people who use our services, families, friends, and carers and play an important contribution in how people experience our services.
You will also be acting as lead and senior practitioner to support junior staff carry out assessment/reassessments of service users and/or pathways with complex needs across the relevant field.
Your patients could be any age, but they'll often be elderly, while others may have been recently discharged from hospital, be terminally ill, or have physical disabilities.
If you want to know more about community and the difference you could make, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
