Caring for patients in the community is a privilege and a unique opportunity to build meaningful relationships, promote independence and see first-hand the positive impact of your care.

• You will work autonomously, in line with your scope of practice, competence and policies.
• Handover & document patient information effectively.
• Escalation of patients’ needs as appropriate.
• Lone working with the support from the wider team; traveling independently over the geographical patch.
