We are a big team, supportive and friendly, although working independently you will always have the support of the team when needed. We have been recognised  by the trust as a fantastic team and great asset to the organisation, we are only getting bigger and better, why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that?

So if you fancy a change, a move to a beautiful area, joining a professional team full of enthusiasm then this could be the role for you.

We occasionally require team members to work in a hub that differs from their base.

The service runs as a 7 days a week service 7:30am – 8pm.  No overnight shifts are required but flexibility around availability on weekends is required. Currently night shifts are provided by a dedicated overnight team, but there would be an opportunity to rotate to night shifts if this is something you would be interested in. CPD is expected in your role so you will be given the opportunity to learn and teach others in order to meet needs of a patient in their own homes.

It is essential that you are a car driver and have access to a vehicle for work.  Your mileage will be covered by expenses and parking at our community sites is free for clinical staff.
