Job summary
37.5 Hours per week - Tees Community Nursing
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced registered Nurse to apply for a District Nursing Sister which will be attached to a Primary Care Network (PCN), to lead and provide coordinated care through integrated teams.
Primary Care Networks signal a significant change in the way practices interact not only with each other, but the wider health and social care system. This will enable the traditional barriers to the delivery of health and care to be broken down to enable care to be delivered to a defined patient population, in a different way to meet the needs of that population, focused on prevention and personalisation of care, making best use of resources collectively.
The NHS Long Term Plan introduced PCNs as essential building blocks of every Integrated Care System. The postholder will have responsibility for leading and managing the community nursing workforce.
Successful candidate must have access to a vehicle for work purposes to meet the requirements of the role.

The centre is committed to providing the right candidate with a development programme that will not only enhance their academic qualifications and nursing interests, but will also provide an excellent foundation for professional development, as well as gaining an insight into the intra-organisational structure and processes.
