We are looking for Band 5 nurses to work within our district nursing teams, to cover our 8am-8pm 7 days a week model, with vacancies available across the city.

The service is undergoing significant developments as part of our plan to deliver integrated community care for patients on a neighbourhood footprint across Sefton Place.

Working to the Mersey Care values, you will have excellent empathy, communication skills and a person centred approach.

You will be keen to continue learning and develop the competencies needed to give evidence based care to your patients in their own home.

Clinical decision making skills and a problem solving approach is an essential component of this role.

You will be a good team player who can also work autonomously on your own, escalating and reporting back appropriately.

Applicants can be placed anywhere in the SPB locality.


The service operates 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to cover our 8am-8pm 7 days a week model.


You will also have the opportunity to be mentored and full support will be given to develop and enhance your skills.

As a result of the post-holder being effective in their role, The Trust would expect to see the following outcomes for the Trust, service users and the wider community:

  • Staff engaged with the delivery, innovation and continuous improvement of services to benefit service users.
  • Visible and responsive leadership, setting the standard for others and role-modelled throughout the division for all managers
  • The Trust values of Continuous Improvement, Accountability, Respectfulness, Enthusiasm and Support will be embedded across the division for all staff and evident to service users


Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 11 million people.


We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services.

Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.


At the heart of all we do is our commitment to 'perfect care' - care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient.

We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together.

We're currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
