What does a community nurse do?

A community nurse provides nursing care to patients outside of a hospital, for example in their home, clinics, and care homes. This includes assessment, treatment, monitoring and support. Community nurses often attend to patients who have trouble reaching a hospital, for instance if they are elderly or disabled. They’re crucial in helping to reduce hospital admissions by keeping patients in their own homes.

Community nurse jobs offer a great deal of autonomy as they manage their workload each day. Duties they may perform on a day-to-day basis are:

• Giving medication and injections
• Dressing and cleaning wounds
• Managing patients’ general health and wellbeing
• Setting up intravenous therapy (such as drips)
• Monitoring ongoing care plans and creating long-term care plans
• Cooperating with fellow local healthcare professionals
• Educating and supporting patients’ families to help them navigate the patients’ condition and needs

How do you become a community nurse?

Note that different healthcare providers will have their own job requirements, we advise you to research these before beginning your training.

How much does a community nurse earn?

The starting salary for an entry-level community nurse job is around £28,000, which equates to band 5 for newly qualified nurses in the NHS. The average salary for a community nurse job is in the region of £40,000. However, like all salaries, this can vary depending on several factors, including location, experience, and the type of contract and organisation you work for.

Community nurses can start on higher salaries than general nurses because they typically need more experience and qualifications. For example, community nurses may complete a district nursing course that will move them up to band six, once they have secured a position as a district nurse.
