Join to apply for the Senior Nurse Band 6 role at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust

The Home First service brings together nurses, therapists, health and therapy assistants, to work with the acute Multi-Disciplinary Team & Transfer of Care Hubs to promote an efficient, effective discharge from hospital to the patient’s own home.

Our multidisciplinary teams work flexibly to provide a 7-day service, 365 days a year, between 8am and 8pm. Patients who are discharged from hospital into Home First will be receiving step-down intermediate care, involving community-based assessments and interventions provided in their own home to support recovery and monitoring of their health in the early days post discharge to prevent re-admission. Home First will, where required, provide acute reablement for up to 10 days, supporting people to achieve functional goals and work towards independence with activities of daily living.

You could become part of our exciting service, bringing the unique benefits of a wraparound recovery service from hospital discharge. The principle of the service ensuring that recovery involves working towards the person being as independent as possible through enablement.

We are looking for a Senior Nurse to join us, so if you’re an ambitious, proactive, and experienced nurse looking to take a lead role in a team that provides cutting-edge, excellent community care, we’d love to hear from you!

You will use your clinical expertise and problem-solving skills to support patients and the team. This involves completing clinical assessment, planning and the implementing care for patients including medication management, wound care, catheter care and identifying deteriorating patients.

As a member of the team, you will receive support from members of the multidisciplinary team and participate in the in-service learning programme. While developing your own specialist areas of practice, relevant to the team, you will supervise and support the development of colleagues, including those outside of your professional group and pre-registration students.

You will play an active role in the development of the service through reflective practice, clinical supervision, and quality improvement initiatives. This is a fantastic environment in which to develop your leadership skills through formal and supported training, using these to assist in shaping future clinical practice of the team.
