About the Role
We are seeking people who are adaptable and collaborative, with the potential to grow, and the ability to plan, prioritise and organise their work, to join our neighbourhood nursing service.
Our neighbourhood nursing service, which includes district nursing, continence care, neighbourhood nurse practitioners, end of life carers, and phlebotomy, organise, deliver and manage nursing care for patients in their own homes, residential accommodation, or clinic settings. We also attend multi-disciplinary team meetings, promote/preserve the health needs of individuals, families, and communities, encourage self-care, as well as undertake assessment and evaluation of care.
The service operates a 7am to 7pm service, 365 days in the year.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The neighbourhood nursing teams provide nursing care for patients, aged 18 and over who are housebound within the Medway area, delivering a range of personalised care and treatment to those with complex and long-term conditions, supporting people to stay safe and well at home.
We can’t promise that it will be easy. We can’t promise that it will always be smooth sailing. But we can promise that it will be rewarding, that you’ll be surrounded by a brilliant team, and that you’ll be helping local people, their families, and our local communities. So, if you can promise to care, to learn, to grow, and to do your best, and you like the idea of meeting and supporting people from across Medway, apply today!
What We Offer
- We encourage staff to get involved in exploring new ways of working and service development.
- We’ll provide well-established, in-service training, one-to-one supervision, and appraisals with regular support.
- You’ll be able to develop your skills in a friendly and supportive team.
- Would you like to work flexibly? In the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important work-life balance is. As a flexible working-friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement.
