An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Integrated Out of Hours Community Nursing Team as a Band 6 Senior Staff Nurse. This is a permanent role, with vacancies across Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Norton Canes. Successful candidates will be required to work across two of these bases.

The service operates between 16:00 and 08:15, seven days a week, covering evening and night shifts. This may particularly appeal to nurses seeking a flexible alternative to traditional working patterns.

We cover approximately 1,047 square miles, therefore a valid driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential. You must be willing and able to travel extensively across the locality to meet service and patient needs.

We are looking for experienced nurses with strong clinical and leadership skills who are ready to develop within a senior role.

You will be supported to become a confident and authentic leader, developing skills in leadership, advanced clinical practice, resilience, wider healthcare systems and supporting others, while fostering a culture of safe, compassionate and high-quality care.

This is a varied and rewarding opportunity to develop your clinical and leadership expertise while making a real difference to patients and colleagues.

Main duties of the job

The role will focus on coordinating and leading shifts, ensuring the safe and effective delivery of care across the Out of Hours service. You will triage, assess, plan, implement and evaluate care for patients with complex needs within the community setting.

Working closely with colleagues across the wider leadership team, you will support the effective delivery and development of the service while maintaining awareness of the wider local and national healthcare agenda.

We are looking for a proactive, flexible and dynamic nurse with excellent clinical, communication and organisational skills. You will be confident in clinical decision-making, managing competing priorities and positively challenging practice where appropriate to promote safe, high-quality care.

As a senior member of the team, you will act as a positive role model, consistently demonstrating and embedding the Trust's values and behaviours. You will take responsibility and accountability for your actions, professional development and agreed objectives, while supporting colleagues to deliver high standards of patient care.
