Community Nursing Assistant

Role Introduction

At Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, we believe in providing exceptional care that goes beyond the ordinary, and we need someone like you to help us achieve that vision.

When you join us, we will work with you to develop your own personal development plan, that supports your learning style. We provide training, clinical supervision and access to a peer support network. 

This role is crucial in supporting the Registered Nurses on an evening to enable patients to remain at home and avoid hospital admission. 

You will support the Registered Nurse, responding to intervention call outs between the hours of 5pm and 10pm. You may also work alongside a colleague and visit patients to deliver planned care. 

You must have excellent communication, organisational and IT skills.

It would be expected that you are available to work on a rota over 7 evenings per week, 365 days per year.  

Your hours of work will be 17.00pm - 22.00pm. The role is based from Hunslet Health Centre, though it is expected that you travel across the city of Leeds during your shift to deliver patient care. 

The contract is for a minimum of 10 hours (2 evenings) up to a maximum of 30 hours (6 evenings). Hours can be discussed prior to application or at interview as required.

We strongly recommend getting in touch to discuss the role further.

You must have a full driving licence and access to a vehicle suitable for work purposes as driving citywide is an expectation of the role.  

Unfortunately we are not in a position to offer sponsorship for this role.

Adverts will close early where the maximum number of applicants is reached.
