You will work closely with senior nursing colleagues, Team Leaders, partner organisations, and wider health and social care services to support safe, effective, and sustainable community nursing provision.
This is a key leadership role within the senior nursing team.

The successful candidate will be a confident communicator, able to work across professional and organisational boundaries, manage complex and sensitive situations, and support staff through change.
