Are you looking for a new opportunity with diverse experiences in community nursing?

An exciting position has arisen for a Band 5 Community Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team in Abergavenny. You will look after patients in their own homes and places of care, delivering high-quality clinical care and supporting them to live as independently as possible. To ensure you feel confident from day one, we provide a robust induction programme alongside excellent CPD training opportunities to develop your skills.

If you are a motivated nurse who enjoys working autonomously as well as part of a supportive team and making a real difference in people's lives, we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

As a Band 5 Community Nurse, your primary responsibility will be to assess, plan, and deliver high-quality, evidence-based nursing care directly to patients in a variety of community settings. Managing a daily clinical caseload safely with minimal direct supervision, you will confidently exercise clinical decision-making. Your routine will encompass a sophisticated clinical skillset, including assessments, palliative care, wound management, catheter management, the administration of medications via IV and syringe drivers, gastrostomy and enteral feed management, patient education.

In this role, you will provide compassionate, dignified end-of-life care, offering vital emotional and practical support to patients and their families during sensitive times. Acting as a key point of contact, you will collaborate closely with GPs, social services, and wider multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless, integrated patient care. Additionally, you will maintain precise documentation for every visit to uphold the highest standards of safety and continuity of care.

Applications are invited from UK NMC Registered Nurses who share the underpinning values of District Nursing in delivering high standards of care to patients through effective and supportive team working.
