We have an exciting opportunity to recruit an NMC Registered Nurse Associate to join our Community Nursing Team team based at Tunbridge Wells. The team support patients from GP practices within the 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. Clinical areas will include wound management care, end of life care, medicines administrations and bladder and bowel care, amongst other duties. You will be supported by senior staff and the team; therefore, these posts will suit those wanting to move to a community setting. Staff will be required to drive their own car and are able to claim mileage costs and access the NHS car lease provision, following their probationary period.
