Thank you for your interest in joining us at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

We pride ourselves in striving to be an employer of choice.

Strategic Themes

Great Care

We will deliver safe, high quality, consistent and personalised care based on best practice. We are working to be a responsive organisation that listens and learns.

Great Organisation

We work to be a green organisation, and our sustainability plan will deliver NHS net zero targets. We will support quality care, research and innovation. All our work will be underpinned by clear and transparent principles and systems.

Great People

We will work together with our staff to create an organisation that supports our collective health and wellbeing. We will attract, retain and develop great people, and embed a caring, open, inclusive and restorative just culture that supports us to deliver quality care.

Great Partner

With our partners we will deliver health care that improves people’s quality of life, prevents ill health and reduces inequalities. We will spend our money wisely to achieve high quality outcomes that matter to local people.

At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have a ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

The successful applicant will be an NHS employee and may therefore have contact with vulnerable service users. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to take significant steps to protect the health and safety of our staff, service users and those attending our sites. Unless exempt, we encourage and support staff to be vaccinated as this remains the best line of defence against COVID-19.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, caring and motivated Community Nurse Team Leader within the Probus and Roseland Community Nursing Team. This will be an evolving job role within the Primary Care Network exploring multi-disciplinary ways of integrated working. Therefore flexibility and a willingness to explore new ways of working is a must.

We are seeking a dynamic, forward thinking professional who wants to help us deliver and coordinate exceptional community nursing care, and provide leadership to the team.

Our patients are at the centre of all that we do so we are looking for a team leader with an interest in delivering the highest quality care and to support our patients to lead full and independent lives whilst promoting self management of their health conditions.

A commitment to team working and providing excellence in patient care is a must as are exceptional communication and people skills.

We are looking for a personable colleague who is willing to collaborate with our wider health care team across the County and who has an understanding of the changing climate of care delivery in the community including ‘Aging Well’ (NHS Long Term Plan) and Urgent Care Response.

You will need to be able to demonstrate real enthusiasm for community nursing as well as a desire for on-going professional development.

Informal chats and visits with the team are welcomed. Please contact Hilary Cousins, District Nurse Locality Team Leader on 07768 801365 or [email protected] for more information.
