Community stroke nurse
NHS AfC: Band 6
Trosolwg o'r swydd
Are you interested in working with stroke survivors to support them in their recovery?
We have an exciting opportunity arising for a full-time community stroke nurse to join our team working with stroke survivors, their families and carers following discharge from hospital. An initial pilot of the service demonstrated benefits to patients and there is on-going work looking at long-term funding for the service. The post is a temporary fixed-term contract until the end of March 2026 while this work is undertaken.
The community stroke team works with patients, their families, carers and hospital staff to facilitate a smooth transition from hospital to discharge home in the community. The team works with the more complex, disabled stroke patients to ensure they receive the support and care during this process and up to 8 weeks following discharge home. We are a small team of nurses, occupational therapists, case manger, psychology and admin. The work is varied, stimulating and very rewarding.
The base can be negotiated at interview but the post holder will cover East North Cumbria catchment areas including Carlisle, Longtown & Brampton, Wigton, Solway and Eden.
