Community Staff Nurse

Overview

Now is the time to be part of a healthcare transformation. The new NHS 10‑Year Plan puts community care at the centre of service delivery – shifting resources closer to where people live and promoting prevention over hospital admission.

As a member of a community‑based NHS trust you will be at the forefront of this change. Work in integrated neighbourhood teams, delivering joined‑up care alongside GPs, mental health professionals, social workers and voluntary services. Benefit from new roles, clear career pathways, apprenticeships and personalised development support.

Community trusts are leading the way in digital innovation, using tools like virtual wards to reduce admin and improve patient care.

As a Band 5 Community Nurse you will work as part of a close‑knit team dedicated to the health and wellbeing of people in Folkestone. You will use your clinical judgment to support evidence‑based care planning for people living at home, in care homes or other settings and make sure that people who use our services have a good experience.

We would actively encourage you to apply if you are newly qualified and we will support your transition into Community Nursing.

Additional Working Pattern: 37.5 hours a week over 5 days. Working hours between 8am and 6pm, 7 days a week. Part time hours will be considered and flexible working considered.

Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we have a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. We pride ourselves in being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We ask for information about your protected characteristics on our application forms to ensure we are attracting diversity in our applicants and that all our colleagues have equitable access to career opportunities.

As a flexible working friendly organisation we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you.
