Job overview

We are currently seeking a passionate Band Stroke Nurse Specialist to join our Integrated Stroke Early Supported Discharge & Community Neuro Rehabilitation Service. Our integrated service provides stroke rehabilitation and community neurorehabilitation support to service users with complex needs.

As a Stroke Nurse Specialist, you will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of highly skilled & experienced professionals, including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychologists, Neuro Rehab Assistants, and other healthcare professionals.

You will be responsible for managing a clinical caseload across Cambridgeshire & playing a key role in shaping the service, as well as supporting the development of your colleagues. You will carry out comprehensive nursing assessments and deliver evidence-based interventions. You’ll work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary Team to ensure coordinated, patient-centred care.

You should feel confident working across different settings, including patients’ homes, inpatient wards, or community gyms, and be comfortable using virtual consultations to support your caseload. A smartphone and laptop will be provided to assist you in your role.

If you are flexible, adaptable, and able to travel independently across your work locality—and have access to a car for work purposes—we would love to hear from you.

Please note for this role you will be required to travel independently around the county meeting strict time deadlines. You will need to hold a full UK driving licence and have use of a vehicle. You cannot use public transport for this role as this is not a reliable form of transport and will not allow you to meet service needs. Please confirm in your application that you meet the specified criteria.

• Provide high-quality specialist stroke advice & rehabilitation to stroke patients, supporting their independence and recovery.
• Manage a caseload of complex stroke patients, ensuring effective case management.
• Offer specialist assessments and guidance on diagnosis, medications, investigations, recovery, prevention, and rehabilitation.
• Advocate for patients, ensuring they receive necessary care and treatment.
• Support and train colleagues in conducting six-month reviews and contribute to ongoing training initiatives.
• Maintain compliance with local and national clinical standards (RCP & NICE).
• Utilise outcome measures and service data to demonstrate clinical effectiveness.
• Ensure high standards of governance, clinical safety, and patient experience.
• Identify and mitigate risks within the service.
• Continue professional development and training.
