Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen in our Community Nursing Teams.
The Oldham community District Nursing teams work across the 5 locations in Oldham.

Welcoming you into our community
As an autonomous registrant working across the Oldham community you will be a confident nurse professional with the ability to make swift, well considered decisions when needed.

Adult community nursing provides opportunities to have a much more ‘hands on’ role within a patient’s recovery, building a therapeutic relationship with them. Successful candidates will bring their positive, can-do approach to care and we welcome individuals with ideas and a willingness to be involved in the innovation that is the integration of Health and Social care across the region.
