ESNEFT are paving the way with their huge advances within Integrated Community Services (INT's). Come and join one of the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams within Ipswich and play your part in keeping patients safe and well within the comforts of their own homes.
Exciting opportunities have arisen within the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams covering Ipswich West & Ipswich East on a part-time and full-time basis.
These are diverse caseloads which are led by a band 7 clinical lead and three full-time band 6 senior nurses.
The service is delivered between 8am and 6pm 7 days a week.
Main Duties of the Job
The INT's cover both beautiful rural geographical areas as well as the more urban population of the local towns providing holistic and sometimes complex nursing care within people's homes.

You should be flexible, motivated, and able to work within a changing environment. We will provide support through in-house professional forums, mandatory training, 1:1 and personal development meetings, as well as clinical rolling skills training via the practice development facilitators.
