Specialist Community Nurse

We are looking for energetic, dynamic nurses who can think on their feet and thrive on the challenges the working day can bring. You will be joining our team of highly motivated proactive professionals to continue our goal of developing our service beyond the traditional scope of nursing in response to the challenging health care needs that we are facing nationally. Main duties include working closely with the Band 7 District Nurse Team Leader to ensure quality care delivery to patients in their own homes and residential settings. Provide effective and positive leadership. Complete managerial duties. Be a role model to colleagues and mentor for junior staff members.

If you pride yourself on thinking outside the box and enjoy challenge then this is the job for you. Ideally, the candidate will have experience gained from Community Settings and be knowledgeable in their field. Experience within Palliative Care, Frailty and Long Term Conditions would be desirable but not essential. The hours of the District nursing Service are 9am - 5pm, 7 days a week including bank holidays. Driving licence and use of a car is essential.

Are you looking for the next steps in your nursing career? Are you passionate about making a difference to patients' lives? If 'yes' then there couldn't be a more exciting time to join us! Here at our District Nursing service no day is ever the same. As a well established Community Service, we care for patients with complex needs providing highly skilled assessments and support within their own home environment. The role will involve leading a team of experienced Community Nurses and working in partnership with multiple stakeholders and voluntary services to provide the best care to our community and shape the future of healthcare across Milton Keynes. The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
