Are you a Nurse Associate nurse passionate about community nursing?



Are looking for a new challenge?



If you've answered 'yes' , we'd love to talk to you about joining one of our teams.

In Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust (CLCH), community healthcare is our focus and our passion. We champion the role of community health professionals to make sure our patients get great care closer to home and we have recently been rated as good by the Care Quality Commission.



We believe community nursing gives dedicated healthcare professionals the opportunity to spend more time with the patients in their own home environment and work collaboratively with other clinicians to provide more coordinated care.



You will be working independently under the guidance and direction of a District Nurse Team leader to provide cost effective, evidence based and safe care to our patients in their own homes. Applicants must be registered with the NMC as a nurse associate and have excellent communication, clinical skill and team working skills.
