We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Band 5 nurse to join our Community Nursing Team within the Hambleton & Richmondshire locality based at Thirsk Health Centre.
There is an expectation that you may be required to work in another team within the locality at times to cover service needs.
As a community nurse, you will provide high-quality, invaluable holistic care for people in their own homes and residential settings which requires a variety of skills including wound care, continence management, palliative care, health promotion, venipuncture, and more. Candidates will be supported with an induction period. This is a 7-day service with shift patterns to cover between 0800 - 1800 hours, however, our service is currently undergoing a consultation period therefore the working times covered will be confirmed.
The District Nursing Teams are attached to a Primary Care Network (PCN), to provide coordinated care through integrated teams. Through integrated working, a significant change in the way practices interact not only with each other but the wider health and social care system.
This will enable the traditional barriers to the delivery of health and care to be broken down to enable care to be delivered to a defined patient population, in a different way to meet the needs of that population, focused on prevention and personalization of care, making the best use of resources collectively.
The Community Staff Nurse is expected to provide clinical care, innovative practice, and support to the District Nurse Sister and Clinical Lead to our ever-developing teams. This role will provide the opportunity to work closely with GP practices and other partners, in supporting patients with highly complex and often high acuity needs to prevent unnecessary hospital admission.
This role requires an experienced clinician with teamwork and communication skills, delivering effective evidence-based care to a defined demographic population with diverse health care and social needs.
The successful candidate needs to be prepared to adapt to the changing needs of the Trust and the community models of care as they arise.
The center is committed to providing the right candidate with a development program that will not only enhance their academic qualifications and nursing interests but will also provide an excellent foundation for professional development, as well as gain insight into the intra-organizational structure and processes.
Successful candidates must hold a full, valid UK driving license and have access to a car to use for business purposes.
