I am currently recruiting for a Community/District nurse in the Milton Keynes area. This is a really exciting position to work within the community and make a real difference. You will be required to have your own vehicle but will be able to claim miles.

The right candidate will be able:

· To show by personal example the highest standard of patient care and participate in active bedside nursing care including the full use of appropriate nursing equipment.

· To be aware of and meet the needs of the patients as specified in the care plans and as directed by the Nurse-in-Charge of the shift.

· To liaise effectively with other professionals and significant others involved in the patients care, ensuring an integrated pattern of service delivery.

· To check and administer drugs with another trained nurse, reporting any discrepancies to the Nurse-in-Charge and/or Matron.

· To observe and report to the Nurse-in-Charge any changes in the patient’s condition and for this information to be entered in the patients records.

· To assist in the review of patients Care Plans and to make suggestions about aspects of the patients care planning.

· To receive supervision in order to enhance and consolidate personal and clinical skills.

· To conduct a professional manner between yourself and patients, i.e. no exchanging of telephone numbers, no outside contact, this could lead to a dismissal from the agency.

You are responsible for your own actions when carrying out your duties and the safety of the service user is paramount.
