We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic full-time Band 5 Community Nurse to join our Integrated Care Team in Leytonstone (ICT South).

ICT South is an innovative, community-based service that takes a holistic approach to patient care. The team works in close collaboration with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, district nurses, and community matrons to provide seamless and comprehensive care to the people we serve.

What we offer the successful candidate:

Regular clinical and managerial supervision and support

A comprehensive in-service training program with exciting development opportunities

The chance to contribute to service development and audits

Agile working devices for effective community-based care

For overseas qualified nurses aspiring to become a registered UK-based nurse with the NMC, we offer support through the Capital Nurse consortium. Please visit this link to check eligibility. We welcome overseas nurses, but applications must be submitted through the Capital Nurse London group rather than directly to NELFT.

Key Responsibilities:

Support the team, department, and organisation in promoting the Trust’s core values: kindness, respect, and collaboration with communities.

As a Registered Nurse with NHS experience, you will be responsible for managing a caseload, assessing, planning, and delivering patient care. While community experience is desirable, it is not essential.

Act as a mentor for pre-registration students and Band 4 nursing assistants/assistant practitioners.

Work independently and as part of the team, collaborating with other health and social professionals.

Use electronic patient records (RIO), so being computer literate is essential; prior experience in administrative tasks is beneficial.

Additional Benefits:

Regular clinical and managerial supervision and support

Access to a training program with exciting development opportunities

Agile working devices to facilitate community-based working

Childcare support and vouchers

Starting with NELFT:
We prioritize a warm welcome and thorough induction for new starters.

You’ll also have opportunities to meet senior leaders and attend engagement and wellbeing sessions. The induction takes place at our head office in Rainham, Essex.

This post also includes a High Cost Area Supplement, providing 15% of the basic salary (minimum £4,551, maximum £5,735, pro-rata for part-time staff).
