More detail about the role
Are you aware of the breadth of new skills and knowledge open to you in the community? Our patient caseload offers you variety and can expand your personal development, equipping you with a much higher level of job satisfaction. In our team, everyone is important, everyone has a say, and everyone is valued. Cullompton is particularly fortunate to have the wider MDT working alongside us, we can continue to enjoy having those opportunities to have conversations and communication, ensuring we work together to achieve the same outcomes for our patients.
Our icing on the cake is our management team, who are very proactive, always around, welcoming, embracing, and encouraging us to be the best we can be, at the same time respecting individuality and ensuring we maintain a work-life balance that brings out the best in us.
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 such enormous pressure, which impacts staffing, sickness, and retention, that it is vital that we look after each other's health and wellbeing to enable us to care for the population to the best of our ability. Being kind, communicating well, and being approachable should not be underestimated.
We as a team are looking for an individual that stands out from the rest. Someone who is dynamic, enthusiastic, and shows 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, how the team functions, 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 also 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. Having 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 in order 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.
Working Pattern: 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, including weekends and Bank Holidays.
