Overview
We have an exciting opportunity to recruit an NMC Registered Nurse Associate to join our Community Nursing Team based at Coxheath. We support patients from GP practices within the Athena and Ridge Primary Care Network (PCN). The teams provide nursing care to predominantly housebound patients. Each team takes responsibility for a defined geographical patch, which allows good working relationships with local GPs, care homes, Social Services, voluntary organisations and other stakeholders. The District Nursing Service also provides local clinics for patients requiring their clinical skills. We believe the addition of the new Nursing Associate role will complement the current skill-mix for providing nursing care within a community setting.
This is a highly rewarding role, and nurses are supported to achieve all the clinical skills required for the role.

* Full UK driving licence (where driving is a requirement of the role).
Support and Benefits

* Access the NHS car lease provision and mileage claims after probation.
* Flexible working options discussed to support personal and family commitments.
