Full Job Description

  • Lead a team to deliver exceptional care within the community, empowering patients to take control of their health.
  • Use your advanced clinical knowledge and skills to deliver specialist nursing interventions, from advanced diagnostics to moving and handling techniques.
  • Work autonomously, making complex decisions that impact the quality of life of vulnerable individuals.
  • Build partnerships with primary, secondary, and social care teams, aiming to reduce health inequalities and improve care delivery across the region.
  • Inspire and mentor the next generation of nurses, supporting students and peers with training and professional development.

    An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated, inspiring and compassionate individual to join our District Nursing Teams.
  • Are you currently in a team leader role and looking for a change. Are you an experienced Band 6 looking for a development opportunity, then we want to hear from you! We are looking for an enthusiastic, grounded, yet innovative nursing professional that is committed to service development and leading by example to become part of the leadership team in Wakefield Adult Community Services. It is a unique, exciting opportunity for the right candidate to provide operational and clinical leadership and expertise to an excellent team of nurses and support workers. What we are looking for:-
  • Autonomous Leadership: You will have the ability to act independently, make critical decisions, and lead your team with integrity and compassion.
  • Advanced Clinical Expertise: A proven track record of delivering complex care within community settings, with a focus on innovative practices.
  • Collaboration and Advocacy: Youll be a role model for high standards in patient care and advocate for the safeguarding and welfare of vulnerable adults and children.
  • Resilience and Adaptability: The ability to thrive in complex and unpredictable environments, managing change and challenges with poise.

    We provide care and support to over a million people in Wakefield and Kirklees in their homes, community settings and across our three hospital sites at Pontefract, Dewsbury and Pinderfields (Wakefield).
  • Always striving for excellence, we are at the forefront of innovation and research, and we invest in teaching and the development of our workforce. We live by our values of caring, improving, being respectful and maintaining high standards. We listen and learn because we aim to make Mid Yorkshire the best place to work and receive care. We value diversity and welcome talent and enthusiasm irrespective of age, disability, neurodivergence, sex, gender identity and gender expression, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or other personal circumstances including providing unpaid carers support to someone with a health and care need. As ethnic minority groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people with a disability/neurodivergence are currently under-represented across the organisation, we encourage applications from members of these groups. We have policies and procedures to ensure all applicants are treated fairly and consistently. We are proud of our staff networks - who offer valuable guidance and feedback from those with lived experience. We have a clear vision and you could be part of this! If you share our values and you want to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families and carers, we would love to hear from you.
