Twilight Community Staff Nurse

Teamed up with one of our highly experienced HCAs, you will travel throughout the County to provide out of hours nursing care & support in the patients’ homes, including those:

• with urinary catheters who are having problems,

• requiring end of life care & support,

• needing intervention for diabetes management

• or any patient who has a need for urgent nursing care.

You will never be alone on shift: Team work is the key & you will always have an experienced Band 6 co-ordinator, a Clinical Nurse Lead or senior staff nurse running every shift.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join us in our Out of Hours Urgent Care Service providing a wide range of patient needs to patients in their own homes.

Are you an experienced, enthusiastic, professional, multi-skilled nurse looking to join either our Adur, Arun or Chichester Teams.

The 5-hour twilight shifts, are ideal for part time workers. Or for those wanting to earn a bit extra. We work 6pm to 11pm, arranged on a four-week repeating rota so that you can plan your life well ahead of time. In addition to being a very family friendly shift pattern, one of the many benefits of working the evening shift is that all hours are paid with the appropriate enhancements, effectively turning 5 hours at work into 6 ½ hours pay.

We offer contracts for 10, 15 or 20 hours/week, there is no full-time working as the shifts are short. Community experience is desirable but is certainly not essential as your enthusiasm, adaptability & attitude are the essential qualities we are looking for. In addition, we also take pride in offering the training you need to develop further as a clinician.

Every shift on twilight is different: there is no typical shift, however, many visits will involve end-of-life care and symptom management, so this is a great opportunity to develop your skills in this area.
