Job description

Overview

Our busy District Nursing teams along the coast of Bournemouth are looking for Community Staff Nurses to join their teams. Applicants can be newly registered, or experienced, as full training and support will be offered. We are looking for dynamic, motivated individuals who wish to provide high standard nursing care to people in their own homes.

The successful applicant must be able to drive and have access to a car. Visa sponsorship for this role is not available. Please ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

Main duties

Our teams provide holistic care to patients at home, including palliative/end of life care, IV drug administration, medication/injection administration, and diabetes management.

We have both full and part-time vacancies available. There will be an expectation for the successful candidates to work weekends, late shifts and bank holidays pro rata.

With excellent links to local universities, the training and development we are able to offer is first class, allowing rapid upskilling and support with new skills. Newly registered staff will have access to a preceptorship program and a specific clinical upskilling program to support their transition from student to RN.

We welcome applications from newly qualified nurses and provide a comprehensive and fully supported Preceptorship Programme for newly qualified healthcare professionals.
