Job description

At Teignmouth Hospital, we provide care to patients and support families in our community. Using your skills, you can make a difference. You will utilize a wide range of nursing skills as we support wound management, catheter care, and provide advice on diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, among others.

Throughout your day, you may work independently, but we encourage meet-ups for lunch to discuss ongoing cases and support. Collaboration is a core part of our ethos, and we promote flexibility and a healthy work-life balance. The commute to work is picturesque, and our local community is breathtaking.

Our team works closely with other departments to provide coordinated, supportive care, ensuring patients receive comprehensive attention. Our volunteers are also a vital part of this effort.

If you have your NMC pin and wish to deliver holistic nursing care, please apply. We welcome visits from prospective applicants.

This is a part-time role, 22.5 hours per week.

Applicants must already hold their NMC registration for this position as stated in the JD & PS.

• Value everyone as an individual and support their right to have their voice heard in decisions about their needs.
• Respect differences and show respect to all.
• Respond with humanity and kindness, listening attentively and respecting others in conversations.
• Respect each person’s preferred wishes while providing nursing care within their own home.
• Provide high-quality nursing care by listening to and acting on feedback.
• Take personal responsibility to improve services sustainably, implementing change positively and contributing constructively to MDT discussions.
• Work in partnership to achieve the best outcomes for our people.
• Support colleagues to work well together towards common goals.
• Act as a role model, valuing everyone’s opinions and experiences.
• Recognize and value the contributions of others in a patient’s care.
• Strive to provide excellent, innovative services that enable our people to live full lives.
• Encourage and support individuals to improve their health and wellbeing.
• Complete nursing duties promptly and professionally.
• Represent our team and the NHS appropriately.
• Adhere to the NMC code of conduct.

We pride ourselves on delivering high standards of care and building community relationships, including participating in local events and activities like walking, picnics, and inter-department games. We have an outdoor area for breaks, lunches, and yoga, with views of the local area and just a 5-minute walk from the beach.

All new team members undergo an established training and induction plan; experience in community nursing is not essential. Our colleagues have shared positive feedback about our supportive environment.

If you can work flexibly between 7 am and 7 pm, 7 days a week, including weekends and bank holidays, across community nursing and intermediate care, we invite you to join our team!
