Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust

Here at KCHFT we are constantly working to improve the lives of our staff and our patients.
Are you interested in joining a Trust committed to your development?

Would you like to be part of an organisation that really values your well-being?

Do you want to treat people rather than conditions?

Here at KCHFT we are constantly working to improve the lives of our staff and our patients. We care for you so you can care for your patients.

Our “We Care” strategy means that our ambitions are to put our communities first, deliver a better patient experience and importantly, be a great place to work for all of our workforce.

These aren’t just empty words either. At our “Outstanding” rated trust more than half of our workforce work flexibly, including compressed hours and term time only. More than 70% of our workforce feel we take positive action on health and wellbeing, and we aim to improve this. We are proud to say that we consistently score above the national average in our staff survey results, particularly for our focus on the well-being of our workforce.

And with the forward NHS vision being based on community care, there has never been a better time to join us.

We are looking for a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse to join one of our well-established Community Nursing teams based at Abbey Court, Tunbridge Wells to support the development of this service. As a well-established team, we can offer experience and knowledge to support your growth

The service operates seven days a week from 08:00 - 16:00, with occasional late shifts of 10:00 – 18:00 on a rotational basis.

Tunbridge Wells is easily accessible from Heathfield, East Sussex via the A267, East Grinstead via A264, and Cranbrook via the A21 within 30 minutes.

The team supports patients from GP practices within the Tunbridge Wells PCN Primary Care Network (PCN). This PCN covers Pembury, Langton Green, Frant, Bidborough Ridge and surrounding areas.

Additional Working Pattern: Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm with rotational weekends

Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we’ve got a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this we need outstanding people who share our values

We know a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves in being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences

We ask for information about your protected characteristics on our application forms. This isn’t visible to anyone involved with shortlisting or interviewing you, except when you choose to be considered under the guaranteed interview scheme due to disability. Short listers will see two ticks alongside your application to ensure they apply the principles of the scheme to your submission

The data we collect helps us to ensure we are attracting diversity in our applicants, that all our colleagues have equitable access to career opportunities and supports us on our journey to being a Great Place to Work

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that will suits us both
