Registered Nurse - Community Hospital

As a Band 5 Registered Nurse you will be responsible and accountable for the delivery of high quality, effective, and compassionate nursing care, including: assessment, planning, implementing and evaluating of holistic and individualised care. This will be in line with local, Trust wide and national policies, procedures, values and behaviours.

Here on Ward 5 at Florence Nightingale Community Hospital we are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Band 5 Registered, who will deliver a high-quality patient care and thrive on the opportunities this post offers. Community health care is changing and fast developing, and it is an exciting time to be a part of Ward 5! The world population is ageing, and we are all familiar with the challenges of meeting the needs of the growing number of older people here at Florence Nightingale Community Hospital and we all work tirelessly to ensure the right care and support services are in place when people need them. It's important to celebrate longevity and it is equally vital that longevity is coupled with an excellent quality of life and a sense of personal and social well-being. Thus, our vision for our patients is they should live long and healthy lives, enjoying an active, fulfilling and independent existence- in which the ageing process becomes a positive rather than a negative experience., As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work. In return we will offer:

• Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development
• On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
• A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes
