Community Staff Nurse

If you are a Registered Nurse (NMC) or Registered Midwife (NMC), you are needed to join our Health Visiting service across Hampshire. If you are looking to join a thriving, diverse, innovative service which puts children, young people, and their families at the centre of all that they do, then this is the job for you., We are looking for nurses who are highly skilled in communication, with a strong approach to teamwork. The individual will be someone who is able to deliver appropriately delegated commissioned elements of the Healthy Child Programme as a member of the 0-19 public health nursing service.

Working as a team player, your role will include identifying health needs with children and families and in agreement with the Health Visitor, plan, deliver and review appropriate and evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for children and families. You will also develop close working relationships with our Barnardo's workers to support the development of preventative community-based approaches and personalised care.

We are committed to ensuring that our values are the foundation of everything we do and we offer great opportunities for ongoing learning and development for all staff by providing a robust induction programme, comprehensive safeguarding and clinical supervision as well as offering access to a broad suite of training to help with your professional development. There may be opportunities for community staff nurses to further develop and complete their Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (Health Visitor) qualification, subject to availability. For newly qualified practitioners we have an established preceptorship programme in place to aid your development. We look forward to receiving your application.

We are well known for our creative approach in supporting our communities, children and families with great innovations including ChatHealth, our Text Messaging Advice Service; the Parent Portal, an interactive web-based information hub for parents, and our partnership with Barnardo's which offers community-based public health programmes. We are proud of having achieved BFI accreditation at gold standard., Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides joined-up mental and physical healthcare for around two million people across our communities. With over 13,000 staff working in the community and local hospitals, we deliver care at every stage of life, helping people live their best and healthiest lives.

Our mental health services include community-based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person's care.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute-level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence
