An opportunity has arisen for a dynamic Registered Nurse to join the District Nursing Service covering East Dorset on a 12-month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave working 25 hours per week within the Crane Valley team.
The role of the Community Staff Nurse has changed over the years and we are now looking after complex patients in their home environments. The skills required for Community Nursing include:
- Complex wound management
- Palliative care and end of life care
- Medicines management
- IV drug administration
- High standard of holistic assessment and care planning skills
Training is available within the Trust for the successful applicant. If you are looking for a change and want to work more autonomously in a challenging environment, with opportunities for further career development, then the community could be for you.
The team works closely with members of the wider multi-disciplinary teams including local Hospices, Complex Care Nurses, Health and Social Care Coordinators, Specialist Nurses and Therapist colleagues. The team is also supported by Intermediate Care Service and utilises our community hospitals for patients' rehabilitation.
This is a fixed term role and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only.
Key responsibilities include:
- Care of patients at home, requiring nursing care to include diabetes management, complex wound care (including compression bandaging & dopplers), IV management, end of life care, injections and pressure area care.
- Providing a high quality person-centred approach to care delivery which always considers people's safety, privacy and dignity.
- Undertaking assessment of patients/service users care needs, and developing programmes of care as part of the wider multi-disciplinary care team.
- Providing advice to patients/service users and carers regarding their care.
- Planning, implementing and reviewing health improvement programmes in a range of settings.
- Providing supervision, mentorship, and clinical support to students and junior staff in the team.
