Community Staff Nurse - Morecambe South District
The closing date is 07 May 2026
Morecambe South District Nurses offers a permanent post of 22.5 hours per week. We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard‑working and highly motivated staff nurse who is excited to work in an evolving district nursing service. The successful applicant will be committed to working closely with health and social care colleagues to provide high quality care to patients with a wide range of medical conditions in the community setting.
This role includes working flexibly over 7 days, including weekends and evening shifts. Applications from student nurses who are due to qualify and newly qualified staff nurses are welcomed from those who wish to develop within the scope of Community Nursing.
The team is conveniently based in the seaside town of Morecambe, a desirable area to live and work. The role requires excellent communication skills, as you will be undertaking complex nursing assessments and developing and delivering programmes of care for patients and carers. District nurses work a 24‑hour service, and there is an expectation that you may be required to support this to ensure service delivery.
You will work collaboratively with other professionals, voluntary sector and informal carers to promote excellent care to patients in their own homes and community setting. You will be part of an enthusiastic and motivated team who are friendly and approachable. We are very patient‑focused and staff development is a priority. Staff will have access to regular clinical supervision, training and Occupational Health services.
A full UK driving licence is required.
