Do you have the skills to work in community physical health? Are you interested in working for a dynamic and innovative trust that provides person-centred health care to our local community patients? We’d love you to join our teams.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 enthusiastic, compassionate, and motivated nurse to join our established and friendly multidisciplinary Care Community Team in Neston to support and deliver a range of quality nursing services to our patients. We’d love to welcome you to the Neighbourhoods care group.
Your skills will be really valued by our teams and patients alike. If you are new to community health, this is a great opportunity to gain experience in this unique field of nursing.
This post is part-time, 29 hours per week.
We offer a relocation package of up to £8,000
The relocation package is for anyone who would need to relocate in order to take up employment with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership. Terms and conditions apply.
Main duties of the job
Our eight care community teams are based in various locations within Chester, Ellesmere Port, Neston, Frodsham, and the Rural locality covering the geographic area of West Cheshire. It’s important that you can drive and have access to your own vehicle for work. Mileage expenses are reimbursed in addition to your hourly rate.
As a Community Staff Nurse, the successful candidates will undertake duties involving the delivery of high-quality nursing services and the holistic assessments of patients ensuring a person-centred approach.
You will work alongside various professionals to provide quality and seamless care to patients predominantly in their own home. You will be proactive in coordinating their care needs as appropriate, avoiding unnecessary admission to hospital or long-term care settings.
