We are a dynamic and forward-thinking team looking for an experienced and motivated Band 6 Registered Nurse to join our established Dacorum Community Nursing Team as a Deputy Team Lead based with the care home team.
This role offers an excellent opportunity to co-lead one of our neighbourhood teams, working closely with and supported by experienced Team Leaders.

- To set and maintain standards of care and deploy, co-ordinate and supervise the nursing team and learners as required.
- To provide leadership and management to a team of community nurses and other staff covering the four localities across Herts Valleys.
- To be responsible for the team’s assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of individualised nursing care to patients living in the community. The service is provided seven days per week 8am-6pm.
