District Nurse

Blow me down. Manage your own diary Community/District Nurse position £38-£45k per annum!

No joke. Part-time is also a possibility, mileage is paid and there's also a tax break for that I believe.

This is also an opportunity to flex your complex care skills, to train and develop others without the full rigours of a management position and to join a rapidly growing company, with great ethics and a wonderful business model which has seen them grow 3fold in the last 12 months.

In the role, you'll be establishing complex care packages (and the demand is for all age groups, so RCN's should also consider this as well as RGN's, RNLD's & RMN's) and training care teams on the competencies required to deliver the care. You'll generallykeep tabs on your caseload and associated paperwork, including what you delegate; and if you need training updates yourself, of course, that will be taken care of.

I'm talking Trachaeostomy, PEG feeds, Catheterisation, and Syringe Drivers, all with regular clinical supervision and mentoring for your own personal-professional development.

What's the catch? Travel, I guess, you'll need a car (although the mileage is paid) and the growth of the company will necessitate some travel outside of your local area whilst teams and branches continue to be built.

Oh, and on-call but that's well managed and limited to evenings and weekends every 4th week without enhancement and time in lieu is given in return.
