Overview
Thinking about making a move to Community Nursing? Now is the time to be part of a healthcare transformation. The new NHS 10-Year Plan puts community care at the centre of service delivery—shifting resources closer to where people live and promoting prevention over hospital admission.
As a member of a community-based NHS trust, you’ll be at the forefront of this change. Work in integrated neighbourhood teams, delivering joined-up care alongside GPs, mental health professionals, social workers, and voluntary services. Benefit from new roles, clear career pathways, apprenticeships, and personalised development support.
With greater investment in underserved areas and a focus on reducing health inequalities, your work will have local impact and national importance.
Community trusts are leading the way in digital innovation, using tools like virtual wards, to reduce admin and improve patient care.
If you’re passionate about making a difference, this is your chance to help deliver a modern, inclusive, and community-focused NHS.
