Band 5 Community Nurse

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if sufficient applications are received prior to the advertised closing date.

Are you an enthusiastic and passionate Nurse looking for a fresh start? Come and join Sirona as a Community Nurse, a role where you really make a difference. We are a forward-thinking team that will really value you as an individual by supporting with your development and investing in you. Our Integrated Network Teams are made up of nurses, therapists and support workers who work in an integrated way to support service users on their healthcare journey. We would love for you to come along for the ride.

As a Community Nurse you would be welcomed into one of our busy nursing teams to support service users who have nursing needs in their own homes. We are able to offer a range of flexible working options and are offering part time and full time contracts. If your application is successful this is something we can discuss at interview.

Main duties of the job

As a Nurse in one of Sirona's INTs, you will work within a multi-disciplinary team to provide holistic and specialist skills supported by a robust competency framework. You will have the opportunity to develop additional competencies within the requirements of the multi-disciplinary approach to the INT. Due to the diversity of need in our localities, this is a brilliant opportunity to develop your skills through training and in-team support in a range of nursing interventions. Working in a community setting gives you the unique ability to really get to know your caseload and tailor your interventions in a holistic and person-centred way. This could be working with them to manage their health needs or supporting them through education and health promotion.
