Job overview

We are offering an exciting opportunity to join us as an NMC Registered Community Staff Nurse to work in our busy and supportive Farnborough  Community Nursing Team.

This is a part time position.

Many people would be unable to live at home without the support they receive from the community nursing teams and community services are receiving referrals for patients with more complex needs than ever before, with increasingly specialist treatment and care being provided by highly skilled staff.

Our Community Nursing teams assess, plan and deliver nursing care to patients within a home /  clinic setting, in line with evidence-based practice and by joining our team you will be able to experience the difference this makes to families within the community.

Due to the nature of community working, ability to travel across the patch to provide care to patients is essential.

You will receive support into the role through induction, training and beyond. There will be opportunities for personal development and career progression if desired.
