Are you interested in joining a Trust committed to your development?
Would you like to be part of an organisation that really values your well-being?
Do you want to treat people rather than conditions?
Here at KCHFT we are constantly working to improve the lives of our staff and our patients. We care for you so you can care for your patients.
Our “We Care” strategy means that our ambitions are to put our communities first, deliver a better patient experience and importantly, be a great place to work for all of our workforce.
These aren’t just empty words either. At our “Outstanding” rated trust more than half of our workforce work flexibly, including compressed hours and term time only. More than 70% of our workforce feel we take positive action on health and wellbeing, and we aim to improve this. We are proud to say that we consistently score above the national average in our staff survey results, particularly for our focus on the well-being of our workforce.
And with the forward NHS vision being based on community care, there has never been a better time to join us.
Position Overview
We are looking for a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse to join one of our well-established Community Nursing teams based at Westview Centre in Tenterden to support the development of this service. As a well-established team, we can offer experience and knowledge to support your growth. We operate 7 days a week from 08:00 - 16:00, with occasional late shifts of 10:00 – 18:00 on a rotational basis. The team supports patients from GP practices within the Rural Primary Care Network (PCN). This PCN covers Tenterden and the surrounding villages.
Our district nursing teams are closely aligned with local Primary Care Networks, to make sure patient care is holistic and joined up. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the condition, so we take time to get to know our patients.
Please note: This is a rural area and a car will be an absolute essential.
Additional Working Pattern
Monday to Friday 1 in 4 weekends.
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 in being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
As a flexible working friendly organisation, 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.
