Job summary
Do you have a passion for Community Nursing or feel ready to explore something new? Whether you're experienced or completely new to community work, we'd love to welcome you.

Our team told us what they need and we listened. We understand the importance of balance, so we offer flexible working patterns tailored to your life. That could mean schoolfriendly hours. All we ask is that you bring your best to our patients and work collaboratively to maintain safety and high standards of care.

We're committed to your growth. Our clear development pathway includes progression to Band 6 Deputy District Nurse roles, supporting you to build your clinical, leadership, and theoretical expertise in District Nursing.

At UHB, you'll never feel like you're on your own. You'll be supported by your team, your managers, and our School of Nursing, AHPs, and Midwifery. The School offers a wide range of opportunities to help you grow and thrive in your professional development.

Above all, we want you to feel a genuine sense of belonging, community, and support.

Main duties of the job
The role involves delivering highquality, evidencebased nursing care to patients within their own homes, many of whom have complex and evolving needs. Our District Nursing teams work collaboratively with specialist nurses, GPs, Therapists, and Social Care colleagues to provide coordinated support for patients and their families, helping to prevent avoidable hospital admissions and promote independence.

We are seeking highly motivated, enthusiastic, and forwardthinking individuals who can embrace the challenges and opportunities within an everdeveloping primary care environment. Previous community experience is not essential -- full training, guidance, and ongoing support will be provided to help you grow confidently into your role as a Community Nurse.

The Trust offers an excellent preceptorship programme, complemented by our new local induction for community services and the allocation of a dedicated buddy mentor within the team.

To meet the needs of the service, you will need to be able to work flexibly between 07:00 and 23:00 on a rota basis across seven days, and you must be able to drive. We actively promote flexible working and will consider a range of working patterns to support a healthy work--life balance.

About us
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued. We do this by developing compassionate and culturally competent leaders, being values driven in all that we do and by creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace that thrives on the diversity of our people. As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential. For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
