Job summary
We are looking for a Registered Nurse to join our dynamic Integrated Community Nursing Service. Community nursing is changing rapidly and we provide all aspects of nursing care at home for many patients who would have traditionally remained in hospital.
You should share our passion and drive to ensure that our patients and staff receive quality and compassionate care and work with us to ensure the Trust continues its journey towards excellence.
The three locality teams work closely with our colleagues from Earl Mountbatten Hospice, Urgent Community Response, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, GPs, Practice Nurses, Specialist Nurses, mainland hospitals and outside agencies, such as Age UK and the Local Authority.
We would expect you to have good interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate that you are an evidence-based practitioner.
We work across three locality teams and depending on the service need you may be required to work at any or all localities.
Main duties, tasks & skills required
Our mission is to make sure that our community is at the heart of everything we do and that we hold our values across all our services.
It is essential that you have a valid driving licence to drive in the United Kingdom and access to a vehicle as the role is community based.
Clinical skills in all types of urinary catheterisation, syringe driver management, wound management and diabetes management are desirable, but not essential.
Support and training will be available to ensure a safe transition to working in the community setting.
A preceptorship programme is available.
