Senior Registered Learning Disability Nurse

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 are looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Senior Registered Learning Disability Nurse to join our caring and progressive Learning Disabilities team. You will work as part of a close-knit team who are dedicated to the health and wellbeing of people in Ashford, Canterbury & Coastal. The area is made up of a diverse patient group with complex needs.

The multi-disciplinary teams of Occupational Therapists, LD Nurses, Speech & Language therapists, Physiotherapists, and a specialist vision and hearing service work in five geographic localities across the County and collaborate with the social care teams for Kent County Council (KCC) and the LD teams within the Mental Health Trust (KMPT) to provide a coordinated and holistic combined service for people with learning disabilities.
