Are you an experienced Nurse deciding where to go next in your nursing career?
If you are passionate about providing the best possible care and would like the opportunity to empower patients and prepare them for going home, then a career in the Community Care Beds (CCBs) could be the one for you. Home first is the ideal outcome for many patients leaving hospital and providing more care in persons own home is preferred, but a temporary stay in a setting that has a homely environment and that can provide 24-hour care is sometimes required.
The Community care beds do this, enabling early discharge from hospital and reducing hospital admissions. The CCB service delivers complex rehabilitative care for the frailer older adults in Leeds and the nursing care is delivered alongside a wider multi-disciplinary team. The focus always is on the individual, helping them progress to going home.
Community care beds service works on a shift pattern and covers 24 hours, 7 days a week
Main duties of the job
Community nursing in the care beds suits people who can work independently and within the wider multi-disciplinary team. Youll be resilient, motivated, and adaptable to working in an ever-changing environment and of course, a passion for providing the best possible care to all. You will have great communication skills and maintain a high standard of clinical skills when carrying out nursing procedures. You will ensure compliance with our clinical governance framework, you will motivate colleagues, champion service user safety and dignity and drive continuous improvement.
