Community Nurse - Mildenhall (+Brandon) INT
Join to apply for the Community Nurse - Mildenhall (+Brandon) INT role at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity for a Community Nurse has arisen in Mildenhall (and Brandon) Integrated Neighbourhood Team. This INT team is one of a total of six INT teams. The other INT localities are based in Bury Town, Bury Rural, Haverhill, Sudbury and Newmarket.
If you love meeting new people and working with a range of specialties, the INTs are the place for you!
The INT accommodation ‘Hubs’ are the base for a wide range of other health professionals and agencies including Adult Social Care, social prescribers, GPs, police, and mental health team members, allowing us to work together in a fully integrated way to ensure the best care is delivered to the patients within our localities.
The successful applicant will join a friendly team of community nurses, community matrons, therapists, social prescribers, social care staff, INT coordinators, and local administrators, supported fully by a locality Team Manager and Localities Lead.
You will be providing nursing services to patients in the community and have the chance to work in an autonomous manner with the support of the wider multi-disciplinary team and across the West Suffolk Alliance. You will be assessing the patients by carrying out home visits and planning and implementing a patient’s individualized care plan.
Service integration with Virtual Ward (Hospital at Home) and the Early Intervention Team will be part of the role daily, working fluidly with these other services.
Within the INT localities, you have access to a range of treatment facilities and may be involved in delivering nursing care in specialist clinics, such as the leg ulcer and doppler clinics. You will be using a wide range of community nursing skills and will need to be confident in your assessment skills and in your ability to provide safe, effective treatments whilst working in a community setting. Experience of IV administration, cannulation, ECG recording, palliative care, wound management, and catheter management will be an advantage.
This will be the perfect opportunity if you would like a role where you can use a wide range of nursing skills or learn new skills specific to patient need. You are able to work independently, but also with the support of a close-knit team, who are hugely experienced and supportive. You have the privilege of working with patients in their own home environment to improve their health, alongside our service integration teams such as Virtual Ward (Hospital at Home) and our Early Intervention Team (EIT).
The role suits both newly qualified as well as experienced nurses. We can also accept applications from Return to Practices nurses (University course place dependent).
You will be able to develop your role in accordance with areas of clinical interest and to progress in your career, with expert training and education available to support this.
