An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Registered General Nurse/Community Staff Nurse to play a key role in developing the Horsham Communities of Practice and Primary Care Networks in Horsham and its surrounding villages.

The emerging Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are groups of practices working together in collaboration with community and other health and care services. PCNs will enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Care is organised around individuals' identified needs through collaborative working by service providers to deliver excellent patient care at the heart of the community.

The post holder will have responsibility for delivering community care to patients including end of life care, will attend health and social care meetings to discuss complex patients at risk of admission, will be involved in contingency planning for health, and will assist with self-management.

The post holder will also be responsible for triage of patients into the service, and staff management including appraisal, supervision and staff development.

If you are patient-centred, committed to delivering high quality care, have excellent nursing care skills, a "can do" attitude and a desire to be the best then this is the job for you.

In return we can offer you:

• Flexible working patterns
• Supportive learning environment
• Dedicated career pathways and great opportunities for continuing professional development
• Commitment to and support for your wellbeing
• NHS Pension Scheme
• NHS discount and salary sacrifice schemes, including childcare vouchers

If you are passionate about making a difference and want to contribute to an Organisation which is continuously striving to achieve excellence then we would love to hear from you.
