Job overview
A fabulous opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and dynamic staff nurse (RN) to join our District Nursing teams based in South Manchester,
We at Manchester Local Care Organisation (MLCO) bring together NHS Community Health Services and adult social care services in South Manchester. As Integrated Neighbourhood teams, we are driven by the aim of improving the health of local people in South Manchester by working across organisational boundaries.
As a registered general nurse, you will be required to work as part of our District Nursing Service, providing skilled nursing care to adults in their own home and in a variety of settings within the community. You will work closely with GP services and the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, to ensure that patient care is effectively coordinated and demonstrating a positive impact on their life.

You will have a sound knowledge of recent changes within the NHS and knowledge of the political drivers to provide care closer to home as part of a ‘one Team’ approach.
In return you will receive a comprehensive induction programme, access to a range of internal and external courses, and opportunities to develop new and existing clinical skills. We also offer a range of training opportunities for personal development and will discuss flexible working patterns. Travel is an essential part of this role; you must possess a full driving license and have access to a car.
