Nursing Staff jobs in United States

The closing date is 04 January 2026

There has never been a better time to join Wirral Community Health and Care Trust, as we have just received a CQC rating of GOOD with areas in OUTSTANDING. Providing Community Nursing Services over 24 hours that keep our local communities thriving is the heart of everything we do.

You will be required to work day shifts on a flexible rota, including weekends and Bank Holidays.

Whilst community experience would be an advantage, we are keen to recruit those who possess relevant transferable skills and are enthusiastic about developing their career in a community setting.

Our Community Nursing Team supports the needs of housebound patients living on the Wirral. We provide valuable care, supporting people to manage their long‑term conditions and maximise their independence, which in turn can prevent hospital admission or enable a quicker discharge if they are admitted.

Not Yet Qualified ?

Applications are welcome from those who are due to qualify. Allowing you to gain valuable experience working in the Community, we can start you as an Aspirant Nurse Band 4 until you obtain your NMC PIN. You would be accompanied with a registered nurse, but would attend any non‑registered visits (simple tasks) on your own.

Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust has been awarded the National Preceptorship Quality Mark for Nursing from NHS England for our SOAR Preceptorship Programme. SOAR is our self‑analysis tool that underpins the programme and stands for - strengths, opportunities, aspirations and results.

The Quality Mark is the national gold standard and was created in 2022 when NHS England introduced the new national Preceptorship Framework for Nursing, which NHS Trusts benchmark themselves against.

Preceptorship is a period where newly‑registered clinicians are supported in the transition from student to practitioner, so they can gain confidence and familiarise themselves with the role. We want to ensure that professionals start their careers with the best possible foundation.
