Job description

We are looking for passionate and skilled Band 6 Community Nurses to join our Thanet Community Nursing Teams, based at our brand new £10million state‑of‑the‑art Thanet Health Hub.

Our award‑winning service brings together a skilled group of nurses, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, counsellors, cardiac rehab assistants, practitioners, an occupational therapist, administrators and volunteers.

We provide physical, social and psychological rehabilitation through a variety of options tailored to each patient’s needs and preferences.

In this role, you’ll deliver cardiac rehab services across an allocated area of East Kent and help cover other areas based on demand, waiting times and capacity.

You’ll also work closely with the Senior Clinical Lead and Head of Service to ensure we deliver safe, high‑quality care through an effective and efficient model.

You’ll be responsible for assessing, delivering and evaluating care for patients with complex, long‑term and potentially high‑risk cardiac conditions. As part of a multi‑disciplinary team, you’ll manage a set caseload of patients with ongoing needs who would benefit from targeted case management.

Working within the community, you’ll serve as a go‑to resource on Coronary Heart Disease for primary, community and secondary care services.

Additional Working Pattern: 22.5 Monday‑Friday

Please note, this vacancy does not meet the criteria for skilled worker sponsorship and therefore we are unable to accept applications from candidates that cannot provide documentary evidence of right to work in the United Kingdom.

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.

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.

We ask for information about your protected characteristics on our application forms. This isn’t visible to anyone involved with shortlisting or interviewing you, except when you choose to be considered under the guaranteed interview scheme due to disability.

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 will suit us both.

Please note: at this stage, the role is open only to colleagues currently employed within Kent and Medway NHS Trusts and the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB). Nursing vacancies are also open to Student Nurses and Newly Qualified Nurses.
