Job overview

The service runs as a 7 days a week service 7:30am – 8pm. No overnight shifts are required but flexibility around availability on weekends is required. Currently the night shifts are provided by a dedicated overnight team, but there would be an opportunity to rotate to night shifts if this is something you would be interested in.

Main duties of the job
We are community nursing teams comprising of motivated professionals, working out of the hospital setting delivering nursing care in patient’s homes and community settings. We have close working networks with our hospital, social and primary care colleagues to support patients to stay in their homes and avoid hospital admission.
The geography varies depending on your base as we have teams in the City of York, Selby District, Tadcaster or more rural bases in the Pickering area and Easingwold. The views are spectacular. Each day you will work autonomously, delivering patient care to meet patient needs holistically. It’s likely that you will be based at one of our community health centres.
We want to recruit enthusiastic, caring and motivated Nurses to provide the best possible care to our patients.So if you fancy a change, a move to a beautiful area, joining a professional team full of enthusiasm and humour then this could be the role for you.
It is essential that you are a car driver and have access to a vehicle for work. Your mileage will be covered by expenses and parking at our community sites is free for clinical staff.
Graduating nurses joining our Trust receive an exceptional 12 month preceptorship programme, supported by a dedicated preceptor to help them attain the competencies in their chosen clinical area. We welcome applications from newly qualified nurses.
