Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist – Respiratory Services
Join our award-winning Respiratory Services and find your passion in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care. We are expanding our successful teams to support the Acute Respiratory Virtual Ward and are seeking an enthusiastic, knowledgeable Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist committed to excellence in respiratory care.
About the Role
As a key member of the senior team, you will lead and develop a multidisciplinary workforce—including nurses, physiotherapists, nursing associates, associate practitioners, physio technicians, and administrative staff—to deliver outstanding care for people with respiratory illness in their preferred setting.
Key Responsibilities
- Based at Farnham Community Hospital, our team covers NE Hampshire, Farnham, and Surrey Heath, caring for patients in hospital, clinics, and their own homes.
- You will play a vital role in improving standards of respiratory care and enjoy a varied role where no two days are the same.
- The post requires flexibility to work across designated sites within the ICB, spanning both community and secondary care. Core hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, this will develop into a 7-day service, which may involve weekend rotations and occasional unsociable hours.
- The Virtual Ward is an exciting new service offering home-based care to patients who would otherwise occupy a hospital bed. Care is delivered by a specialist workforce using face-to-face assessments and an integrated pathway to safely support patients in their own homes.
- Working closely with other experts, you will work both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team, providing care that is underpinned by research and innovation.
