Community NusreinRamsgateinRamsgatePUBLISHED FRI 18 OCT 2024
The position requires a commitment to the trust's CARE values and offers a full-time schedule of 37.5 hours per week, with shifts from 08:00 to 18:00. The role is integral to the community nursing team, which prioritizes access to necessary care and fosters a supportive environment for both patients and colleagues. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply promptly, as vacancies may close early due to high demand.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Community Nurse to join our strong and progressive team in Thanet. You will share the CARE values of the trust and work within a close-knit group of people who bring the feeling of community to the team through their hard work and dedication to nursing and to the people of the area.
Community Adult Nursing teams in Kent are aligning with Primary Care Network footprints encouraging innovative change to ensure that patient care is holistic and needs-led. Community is the heart of our trust and we are working with primary care colleagues locally to respond to the needs of our patients and we want you to be part of this change.
Ramsgate is made up of a diverse patient group with complex needs and by working in a community-based way we can ensure that services are targeted and patient-focused, and we are proactive in our input and response.
As Community Nurses we support the nursing needs of house bound patients living in and around the areas of Thanet. We will enable and empower patients to self-care where possible so that patients can stay safe and well at home or in their chosen environment.
We provide valuable care, supporting people to manage their long-term conditions and maximise their independence, which in turn can prevent admission into hospital or enable a quicker discharge if they are admitted.
As a service, we may provide wound management, palliative and end of life care and symptom control and catheter care. We also take blood and administer injectable medication. Our aim is to ensure that our patients have access to the care that they need, at the time they need it.
Additional Working Pattern: 37.5 per week (any shifts 08:00 - 18:00)
