    Description

    Are you ready for an exciting change or progression?

    We are looking for Community Nurses (experienced and newly qualified) who are seeking a new challenge and career development within a friendly nursing team. We seek nurses with passion and commitment who hold patient experience and care at the heart of their nursing practice and share our organisational values. In return we offer you support along with excellent training and a real commitment to your personal development plan with opportunities for continued professional development and study.

    You need to be able to work over a shift system which includes early (8-4pm) and late (12-8pm) shifts across 7 days including weekends (1 in 4) and bank holidays.

    Main duties of the job As a Registered Nurse you will work as part of an Integrated Community Team alongside our MDT colleagues undertaking care of people in their homes across the diverse range of interventions and case management opportunities that community nursing offers, including complex care situations, chronic disease, admission avoidance and end of life care.

    To excel in this role you will require excellent communication skills, the courage to make clinical decisions and a willingness to develop your potential. You will require current NMC registration as a Registered Nurse. Post-registration experience is helpful but not essential and we have an excellent preceptorship programme for newly qualified nurses with Practice Facilitator support including the opportunity of completing the level 7 (Masters) 15 credit validated module Preceptorship for Healthcare (AP7026).

    Future progression opportunities include District Nurse Qualification at Specialist Practice level (allowing you to lead a team of Community Nurses) and Assessment and Prescribing modules.

    Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

    Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.

    Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.
