The NHS is changing. More emphasis on community-based care means there’s never been a better time to join us.

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the condition.

We have an opportunity for a qualified and skilled Team Leader to join our Community Nursing Team based in Ashford.

The community nursing service provides case load management for housebound patients to support their nursing needs and enabling them to self-care. Nurses within the team are supported to develop advanced skills to manage the complexity of patients seen.

Our service operates seven days a week from 8am – 6pm. There are two teams supporting patients registered with GP practices working in the Ashford area and surrounding villages within the Ashford Primary Care Network.

Each team has two senior nurses who take responsibility for a defined geographical area, and provide clinical leadership to their Band 5, Band 4 and Band 3 staff. The team will work together to manage a caseload patients delivering a high-quality service.

This is the perfect opportunity for nurses wanting to move to a community setting with advanced clinical skills or expertise.

We are an avid supporter of development and therefore, candidates without the specialist District Nurse qualification or having a recognised advanced clinical skills/module will be considered for trainee posts.

Using the named nurse model, we want to allow nurses to spend more time with patients, promoting self-management where possible, and improving patient lives.

You will need your own car and are able to claim mileage costs and access the NHS car lease provision.
