Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust
We are looking for a Band 6 nurse to join one of our Community Nursing teams based at Trinity House in Ashford, Kent. The service operates seven days a week from 8am - 6pm. These extended working hours allow more flexible working for anyone looking for more flexible hours. Weekend working is generally on a 1:4 ratio with days off during the week. 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 caseloads, delivering a high-quality service. Main duties of the job
Candidates will be expected to be experienced nurses with relevant transferable clinical skills. Candidates wanting to move to a community setting with advanced clinical skills or expertise will be considered. KCHFT is keen to support development and therefore, candidates without the specialist District Nurse qualification or having a recognized 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. Staff will be required to drive their own car and are able to claim mileage costs and access the NHS car lease provision, following their probationary period. Together we can empower you to really make a difference to patients' lives. The very different world we are living in at the moment has given us the opportunity to rethink how we provide our services here at KCHFT. Successful applicants are required to have the qualification level specified in the person specification in order to carry out the job; however, we do welcome applicants from individuals wishing to further their knowledge and skills and to gain this recognized qualification, which we will support. Therefore, if you do not have the essential qualification for the role, this may not be an automatic barrier to you being offered an interview. About us
Rated 'outstanding' by the CQC, we've got a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this we need outstanding people who share our values: compassionate, aspirational, responsive, and excellent. We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. As a flexible working friendly organization, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won't involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We'll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
