South Somerset Community Nursing Team are looking to recruit a Band 6 Team Leader for a 12-month secondment, to manage a team of Band 5s, 4s, and 3s working alongside another experienced Band 6 Team Leader.
You will be responsible for taking on a clinical caseload of complex patients.
Main duties of the job
The Band 6 role in District Nursing involves a ratio of 20% management and 80% clinical. The Band 6 does take a case load. They are also responsible for supervisions and career conversations while managing the team and helping to run the hub. They are expected to work shift patterns between 8 am and 10 pm. While being clinical, they are responsible for complex patient care and supporting the team of staff. It can be a challenging role but also is very rewarding. You will work alongside another Band 6, and between you, share duties required to support and manage the Band 5s, Band 4s, and Band 3s. You are overseen by a senior District Nurse Manager. We are part of a neighbourhood and work closely with Community Nursing Teams across South Somerset. We care for housebound patients within Yeovil, Wincanton, and surrounding villages.
About us
As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, fantastic pension contributions, market-leading annual leave allowance, career progression, and regular conversations, not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts. The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath, and Exeter, and only two hours away from London. There are excellent educational facilities in the area, and when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan -- there is truly something for everyone!
