Do you want to lead and support a team of Community Nurses to deliver care that enables individuals to remain in their normal place of residence?
Do you want to make a difference to the patient journey?
Do you want to be part of an innovative and forward-thinking organisation?
Have you completed the Community Specialist Practitioner course?
If the answer is YES then Lewes Community Nursing within Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust is the team you have been looking for.
The Lewes Community Nursing team are searching for a dynamic and knowledgeable nurse to join them as Clinical Nurse Lead. You will need substantial community nursing experience and the confidence to take forward the community nursing agenda, with a solid background in excellent patient care and with clinical leadership and role modelling abilities.
The successful candidate will be an experienced, qualified Community Specialist Practitioner with evidence of advanced practice experience and a sound teaching and mentoring background with the ENB 998 or equivalent qualification.

As an educator, mentor and preceptor and working with others you will take the lead in the development and supervision of the Community Nursing team, as well as promoting self-care principles with patients using innovative patient activation strategies. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are essential as well as an ability to challenge accepted practices as needed.
The Clinical Nurse Lead post is an exciting and autonomous role and will enable the successful candidate to be at the forefront of developments in community nursing practice and greater integration in the High Weald Lewes and Havens area. Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust offers excellent learning and development opportunities for all staff, along with regular supervision and appraisal, and is committed to supporting employees in developing their careers within the organisation.
