Community hospitals provide a range of comprehensive healthcare services for patients over the age of 18 and in some sites also outpatient services.
The units predominantly provide rehabilitation and end-of-life support for palliative patients and their families.

Under the direction of the Matron, you will be responsible and accountable for the holistic care of a named group of patients.
You will regularly take charge of the Ward and the Hospital in the absence of the Matron.
You will delegate for the Matron at Trust clinical forums and meetings.
Provide clinical and managerial leadership to nurses and healthcare assistants.
You will be expected to participate in a 24-hour internal rotation and undertake other duties where requested that are compatible with the grading of the post.
You will be expected to move to other Community Hospital sites to cover the needs of the service.
