Are you a Registered Nurse looking for a new challenge, working autonomously within Community Nursing?
Community Nursing (District Nursing) have teams based in the following areas;
- North Hub- Haxby Health Centre
- Selby/South Hub -Selby Hospital, Tadcaster Health Centre or Sherburn in Elmet
- East Hub- Tang Hall Clinic
- West Hub- Acomb Health Centre
- South Hambleton and North Ryedale- Easingwold, Pickering and Kirkbymoorside
We have a vacancy at Haxby Health Centre.
We are community nursing teams comprising of motivated professionals, working out of the hospital setting delivering nursing care in patient’s homes and community settings. We have close working networks with our hospital, social and primary care colleagues to support patients to stay in their homes and avoid hospital admission.
The geography varies depending on your base. We have teams in the City of York, Selby District, Tadcaster or more rural bases in the Pickering area and Easingwold. Each day you will work autonomously, delivering patient care to meet patient needs holistically.
We are a big team, supportive and friendly, although working independently you will always have the support of the team when needed. We have been recognised by the trust as a fantastic team and great asset to the organisation, we are only getting bigger and better, why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that?
We want to recruit enthusiastic, caring and motivated Nurses to provide the best possible care to our patients. If you believe you have these qualities, then we very much look forward to hearing from you! So if you fancy a change, a move to a beautiful area, joining a professional team full of enthusiasm then this could be the role for you.
We occasionally require team members to work in a hub that differs from their base.
The service runs as a 7 days a week service 7:30am – 8pm. No overnight shifts are required but flexibility around availability on weekends is required. Currently night shifts are provided by a dedicated overnight team, but there would be an opportunity to rotate to night shifts if this is something you would be interested in. CPD is expected in your role so you will be given the opportunity to learn and teach others in order to meet needs of a patient in their own homes.
It is essential that you are a car driver and have access to a vehicle for work. Your mileage will be covered by expenses and parking at our community sites is free for clinical staff.
