Successful candidates will be responsible for assessing care needs, and the planning, delivery and evaluation of nursing care using innovative evidence based practice. ### Main duties of the job Community nursing is  exceptionally rewarding  as it allows wonderful therapeutic relationships to be developed with patients in their own homes. Working in this capacity embodies the person centred care approach and allows patients to truly be at the centre of care delivery.

Examples of interventions provided are wound management, continence care, palliative care, medication administration and long term condition management. Close working  with the MDT (Social Workers, GP's and Allied Health Professionals) to ensure that patients care is effectively co-ordinated, demonstrates a positive impact on our patients.
