We are transforming Adult Community Services in Croydon. Do you have the skills to be part of this exciting transformation?
In Croydon, health and social care providers and commissioners have formed the Croydon Alliance Board with the aim of providing a whole system transformation that will deliver outcomes our over 65's have specified they want.
The Outcome Based Commissioning programme is a radically different approach to funding and delivery of services designed to deliver outcomes that local people want whilst getting best value from health and the social care sector. This includes the provision of well-coordinated care and support in order to promote independence in the most appropriate care setting.
We have exciting opportunities for highly motivated, enthusiastic Registered Adult Nurses to work within our Integrated Care Teams.
We offer a comprehensive induction programme, preceptorship, clinical supervision, and excellent ongoing professional development opportunities for enhanced career progression.
Once recruited, staff can take advantage of our childcare facilities.
