Community Nurse - Launceston and Tamar Valley Community Nursing Team

Company:

Company: Cornwall Partnership Foundation NHS Trust

A Vacancy at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

Are you a compassionate, motivated and adaptable Registered Nurse looking to make a real difference in your local community? We are seeking enthusiastic Community Nurses to join our friendly and supportive Launceston and Tamar Valley Community Nursing Team.

This is a rewarding opportunity to develop your career in a role that offers autonomy, variety and the chance to build meaningful relationships with patients and families in their own homes. Working across the Callington and Launceston areas, you will be part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

You will assess, plan and provide care for patients with a range of health needs, promoting independence, wellbeing and self-management. Working closely with GPs, therapists, health and social care professionals, and voluntary organisations, you will help people remain safe and well within their communities.

We are looking for nurses who are passionate about patient care, confident working independently, enjoy teamwork, and are adaptable, resilient and committed to continuous learning and development.

This role requires regular travel between patient homes, clinics and community settings. Due to Cornwall's rural geography and limited public transport, access to suitable transport for work-related travel is essential.

Community Nursing operates seven days a week between 08:00 and 22:00, with a range of shift patterns including 08:00-16:00, 08:00-18:00, 12:00-22:00 and 14:00-22:00. Through a comprehensive induction programme and ongoing clinical supervision, you will develop the skills and confidence to deliver high-quality care within patients' homes and community settings.

You will assess, plan, implement and evaluate care for patients, carers and families, promoting independence, wellbeing and quality of life. Responsibilities include undertaking holistic assessments, developing personalised care plans, providing health education and support, and delivering evidence-based nursing care. You will work autonomously within your scope of practice while collaborating closely with GPs, therapists, social care teams and other partners to provide seamless care.

As part of a flexible service, nurses may work across locality teams to meet service needs, offering opportunities to broaden experience, develop new skills and work alongside a variety of professionals while delivering outstanding community care.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
