Overview
Join to apply for the Community Staff Nurse role at Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust.
Our friendly District Nursing team in Bridport and Lyme are looking for a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse to join their team for a 6 month secondment. Full training and support will be offered to the successful candidate. We are looking for dynamic, motivated individuals who wish to provide a high standard of nursing care to people in their own homes.
The successful individual must be able to drive and have access to a car.
Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position.
This is a fixed term role and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please obtain permission to be released on a secondment before submitting an application.
The role includes wound care, palliative care, IV drug administration, medication/injection administration, diabetes management and many other diverse skills.
There will be an expectation for the successful candidates to work weekends, late shifts and bank holidays pro rata. Our late shift covers until 8pm.
With excellent links to local universities, the training and development we are able to offer is first class, allowing rapid upskilling and support with new skills.
