Are you a compassionate and motivated Registered Nurse looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to patients' lives every day?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 Staff Nurse to join our dedicated Community Hospital team, providing person-centred care to patients requiring rehabilitation, ongoing assessment and end-of-life care.
This is your chance to be part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team that helps patients regain independence, achieve their goals and receive outstanding care closer to home.
Under the direction of the Matron and Clinical Sisters, you will be responsible and accountable for the holistic care of a named group of patients. With the support of the Matron and Clinical Sisters, you will be responsible for maintaining clinical standards and demonstrating leadership skills. In the absence of senior staff, you need to have the confidence, knowledge and skills to take charge of the Ward and the hospital.
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.
You will be expected to participate in 24-hour internal rotation and undertake other duties where requested which are compatible with the grading of the post. You will be expected to move to other Community Hospital sites to cover the needs of the service, therefore a full driving licence is essential.
Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust is due to integrate with Medway Community Healthcare on 1 October 2026. Following integration and to align our community services to the new Neighbourhood Model of care delivery, there will be a period of consultation which may result in changes affecting some services, teams or roles. Depending on the area you are applying to work in, this could include potential changes to your role, work base, reporting arrangements, or terms and conditions of employment. Any changes would be subject to consultation and managed sensitively and in line with relevant employment processes. Please do contact the recruiting manager if you have any concerns about this so they can answer any questions you might have.
