Mande has worked in the community for 10 years. She is currently working as Community Nurse Team Lead for the Dacorum team. She says:
“I have found working in the community to be an extremely rewarding job. Since joining the team, I have been able to progress from a band 5, through to a band 6 caseload manager and now a band 7 lead within the Dacorum locality. No two days are the same in this job and there is plenty of opportunity to learn new skills. As an employer, CLCH really values its staff and takes the time to grow them. This is reflected in the values of our academy.
Working in patients’ homes is very rewarding. It is a privilege to be invited into patients’ homes and lives to help see them through some of their most challenging times.
This is a welcoming, friendly place to work and we are a hard working team who nurture and support each other. I would encourage anyone to apply to work with us.”
