Are you a Registered Nurse looking to make a difference in a new team or seeking a new challenge to help support patients in the community?
If so, this opportunity is for you!
We are looking to recruit full‑ or part‑time registered nurses to work within the Rapid Response team based in Chesterfield/North East Derbyshire. There is scope for flexibility with hours/working patterns for the right candidate.
The role includes managing referrals into our service and providing evidence‑based care to support patients in their own home or care home settings. You will assess, plan, implement and evaluate individualised patient care, promote self‑care wherever possible in an efficient and clinically effective way, while maintaining privacy and dignity.
You will provide advice and support to junior staff in the delivery of high‑quality care and actively support the senior Community Nurses / District Nurse in the management of the health care environment.
During your days you will be working alongside general practice/therapy/district nursing colleagues and services within the acute hospitals to prevent hospital admission and support discharge home. We work closely with the Home visiting service and our Local Navigation Hub.
Our Rapid Response team is developing and growing to support the District Nursing teams in Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire to provide a high‑quality service to our patients.
We are a professional, friendly, and enthusiastic team who work closely with our therapy colleagues to provide a holistic integrated service that enables and educates our patients to remain independent in their own homes, whenever possible, to prevent hospital admission and support a safe discharge home. This is increasingly important as care for patients become more community‑focused.
Our purpose in Derbyshire is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.
We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and via virtual consultations.
