You will be responsible for providing skilled nursing care to patients across the locality and work flexibly with multidisciplinary teams across our service to support our patients' journey.

You will need to demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be adaptable, reliable, resourceful, and approachable. You’ll need to be organized and confident and able to cope with changing environments as you’ll be working independently in patients' homes, with support always available.

Our community teams of Nursing and Allied Health Professionals deliver care to people with significant physical health needs in various settings including clinics, community inpatient units, hospices, and patients' homes, including care homes. Our aim is to enable independence, self-care, and to help individuals live their optimum lives, reducing hospital admissions.

Services range from community nursing, including specialist practitioners, to public health and health promotion such as school nursing and health visiting. Many specialist community services support care pathways like Physiotherapy, OT, Speech and Language, Dietetics, and Podiatry.

Supporting these services are administrative and managerial roles. All roles are vital in transforming community health services and ensuring high-quality care now and in the future, centered around our patients' needs. Together, we all make a difference.
