Monmouth Community Nurse - INTERNAL

Job Overview

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM STAFF CURRENTLY EMPLOYED BY ANEURIN BEVAN UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD

Are you looking for an exciting new challenge in community nursing?

An exciting position has arisen for a Band 5 Community Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team. You will look after patients in their own homes, delivering high-quality clinical care and supporting them to live independently. To ensure you feel confident from day one, we provide a robust induction programme alongside excellent CPD training opportunities to grow your skills. If you are a motivated nurse who loves working independently and making a real difference in people's lives every day, we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

As a Band 5 Community Nurse, your primary responsibility will be to assess, plan, and deliver high-quality, evidence-based nursing care directly to patients within their own homes. Managing a daily clinical caseload safely with minimal direct supervision, you will confidently exercise clinical decision-making. Your routine will encompass a sophisticated clinical skillset, including wound management, catheter care, gastrostomy and enteral feed management, and the administration of medications via IV and syringe drivers.

In this role, you will provide compassionate, dignified end-of-life care, offering vital emotional and practical support to patients and their families during sensitive times. Acting as a key point of contact, you will collaborate closely with GPs, social services, and wider multidisciplinary healthcare teams to ensure seamless, integrated patient care. Additionally, you will maintain precise documentation for every visit to uphold the highest standards of safety and continuity of care.

Applications are invited from UK NMC Registered Nurses who share the underpinning values of the Monmouth District Nursing Team in delivering high standards of care to patients through effective and supportive team working.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
