As a Band 5 Registered Nurse, you will deliver high-quality care within patients’ homes, residential settings and, where appropriate, clinics. You will assess health and care needs and contribute to the planning, delivery and evaluation of individualised care that promotes independence and positive outcomes.

This varied and rewarding role requires strong clinical skills, effective decision-making and autonomous working. You will:

Prioritise care according to clinical need and health status.

You will develop a broad range of community nursing skills, with extensive support, training and development opportunities to help you grow and progress within the service.

Come and work with us at our award-winning NHS Trust, leading the way for trying new and better ways of working to help improve life for our local communities.
