We are looking for a Band 6 nurse to join one of our Community Nursing teams based at Hawkhurst Community Hospital, Weald. The service operates seven days a week from 8am – 6pm. These extended working hours allow more flexible working for anyone looking for more flexible hours. Weekend working is generally on a 1:4 ratio with days off during the week.
There are two teams supporting patients registered with GP practices working in the Hawkhurst area and surrounding villages within the Weald Primary Care Network. Please note the community nurses within this area cover boundaries of East Sussex and Maidstone.
Each team has two senior nurses who take responsibility for a defined geographical area and provide clinical leadership to their Band 5, Band 4, and Band 3 staff. The team will work together to manage caseload patients delivering a high-quality service.
Candidates will be expected to be experienced nurses with relevant transferrable clinical skills. However, candidates wanting to move to a community setting with advanced clinical skills or expertise will be considered. KCHFT is keen to support development; therefore, candidates without the specialist District Nurse qualification or having a recognized advanced clinical skills/module will be considered or offered trainee posts.
Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we’ve got a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this, we need outstanding people who share our values: Compassionate, Aspirational, Responsive, Excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
As a flexible working friendly organization, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
