About Community Nurse jobs
Community nurses and health visitors are qualified and registered nurses (or midwives) who deliver nursing care at home, in prisons, schools, or local health centres. Community nursing jobs can span many nursing specialisms. It’s likely you’ll find, on these community nurse jobs pages here at Nurses.co.uk, RGN nurse jobs, RMN jobs, RNLD jobs and RSCN RSCN nurse jobs. Community nurse jobs can mean many things, including acute nursing jobs.
Community nurses and health visitors tend to work on their own (day-to-day) to provide health care to patients with a wide range of needs. Community nursing services include, as mentioned prison nurse jobs and school nurse jobs. But they also take care to people in their own homes with specific medical requirements. For instance, Nurses.co.uk regularly posts jobs for intravenous therapies nurse jobs. Specifically, then, this is the pace to find TPN IV nurse jobs (total parenteral nutrition IV nurse jobs).
Community nursing jobs can also see specialist nurses provide treatment, relief and support to people with multiple sclerosis at community treatment centres, or palliative care jobs - visiting people in their own homes or residential care homes.
(If you’re here but looking for non-nursing community care roles then SocialCare.co.uk may be a better jobs board for you. community care jobs on SocialCare.co.uk are updated daily too.) District nurse jobs perform a social care role as well as a key part of primary care. Through effective district nursing patients can be treated and recover at home, reducing the demand on hospital admissions. The same is true of the health visitor. Health visitor jobs are about prevention and education. Especially working with parents and their young children health visitors can help identify health or behavioural issues and offer advice and support accordingly.
District nursing jobs and health visiting jobs provide a key link to the health support services provided by the local authorities or health authority.
Community nurse jobs require the nurse to be mobile. Often, you’ll need to have a driving licence and your own transport. You may also require some specific experience such as children’s nursing, behavioural management, or experience of working with clients who have issues with substance misuse.
If you wish to work in community nursing jobs you’ll also need to be able to take responsibilities for managing your own caseload. Of course, you will be backed up by a nursing manager providing necessary supervision, but you’ll need to be able to assess patients and take decisions about the level and nature of care required. You may also be expected to monitor and support HCAs and coordinate other junior staff members from time to time.
