Nursing Team Leader | Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust

Please note: at this stage, the role is open only to colleagues currently employed within Kent and Medway NHS Trusts, the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Medway Community Healthcare. Nursing vacancies are also open to Student Nurses and Newly Qualified Nurses.

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'll 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.

The plan also brings new workforce standards: improved flexible working, mental health support, safe workplaces, and strong protections against discrimination. With greater investment in underserved areas and a focus on reducing health inequalities, your work will have local impact and national importance.

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

If you're passionate about making a difference, this is your chance to help deliver a modern, inclusive, and community-focused NHS.

Are you a motivated and experienced nurse ready to lead high-quality, patient-centred care in the community? Join our dynamic Community Nursing Service in Coxheath, where you'll play a key role in supporting housebound adults with complex and long-term conditions to remain safe and well at home.

As a Band 6 Team Leader, you will manage a diverse caseload, delivering and coordinating personalised care across a multidisciplinary team aligned to Primary Care Networks. You'll triage and allocate referrals, lead on holistic assessments, and ensure safe, effective care delivery-always focused on preventing hospital admissions and promoting independence.

You'll provide expert clinical care including palliative and end-of-life support, IV therapy, wound care, and bladder and bowel interventions. As a senior clinician, you'll act as a confident decision-maker and problem solver, supporting your team to develop advanced skills and deliver best practice.

We're looking for someone with strong clinical expertise, leadership skills, and a passion for empowering patients through education and self-management.

Join us and make a real difference-every day, in patients' homes.
