Job Description

We are looking for a forward-thinking and motivated nurse to join the Neighbourhood Nursing teams across Lambeth and Southwark areas.



We are the first Trust in the UK to trial the Buurtzorg District Nursing Model: an entirely Nurse-led approach to patient care in the community with self-managed nursing teams. You will find yourself working in a completely different way.



You must demonstrate excellent communication and team working skills. Through clinical case management you will care for patients with long-term conditions, those at risk, end of life care needs, and those with supported self-care programmes.



There will be training and opportunities in addition to clinical supervisions and appraisals. The post holder must be able to undertake a prescribing course and advanced assessment courses once in post.



Working on a 7-day shift service (hours between 8.00 - 20.00), this post also includes rotational weekend work (maximum two per month).



We are currently trialling a new way on interviewing called transparent interviews, whereby we will provide the 60% of the non-clinical questions to the candidates 24 hours in advance - for further details on this please contact Janevive.Ekejiuba-Uwah@nhs.net (Locality Nurse Manager - Neighbourhood Nursing Team).



If you've applied within the last three months and were not successful, we kindly ask that you please do not re-apply at this time.

Closing Date:

3/08/2025 at Midnight

Proposed Interview Date:

week starting 11/08/2025
