Be part of our future landscape
At Airedale, we are committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion. We actively encourage applications irrespective of people’s age, lived experience of living with a disability or long-term conditions, gender, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or other personal circumstances.
Increasing our diversity and supporting our organisation to be more inclusive is a key priority here at Airedale and our teams are at the centre of how we work towards this.
We appreciate all people may have diverse and individual needs and we pride ourselves on supporting all people to thrive and flourish at work. We have frameworks in place that support reasonable adjustments and flexible working for colleagues throughout their working lives which starts at recruitment.
These are exciting times for Airedale. We have the once-in-a-career opportunity to be involved in the planning and building of a completely new hospital here on our Steeton site by 2030. By joining us now you’ll be a key part of our journey over the next few years, with the chance to input into a state-of-the-art, modern healthcare facility that will deliver care to our communities for decades to come. We are also on the journey to a new electronic patient record, part of our wider ambition for our digital future – a future that builds on our significant telemedicine and digital care success. Ultimately, what makes Airedale special is our people. Not just our staff, but our volunteers, patients, visitors, and wider population who make up the Airedale family. This is a Trust that sits at the heart of our community, and our communities are very proud of their Trust.
Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated nurse with relevant experience to join our established integrated intermediate care team. The Collaborative Care Teams have undergone developments and in the CQC report, our team is described as an outstanding example of community working.
The service receives referrals from a wide range of health and social care professionals, with the aim of supporting patients with a health related crisis at home. The goal is to avoid an acute hospital admission and/or support early discharge. We also provide support to patients who require out of hours district nursing and provide input to people accessing intermediate care beds in the community.

Main duties of the job
In addition, the Collaborative Care Teams provide support to patients within their own homes that require IV therapy, this includes clinical assessment of patients, management and escalation of unwell patients, patient centred care planning, administration of IV medication, peripheral cannulation and on-going care of cannulas, venepuncture and management of Central Venous Access Devices.
We offer a robust induction programme, on the job training, annual appraisal, 1:1 supervision and opportunities for development. We encourage applicants to contact us if they are interested in this post so you can see first-hand how the team functions and learn about this fantastic opportunity.
This is a 24 hour a day 7 days a week service operating 365 days a year therefore the post holder will be expected to work shift patterns to cover the service including Early, Lates, Long Days, Nights or a combination of both and have access to own transport.
Working for our organisation
We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services. We are a national centre for telemedicine and introduced telehealth to the UK offender healthcare sector and also provide the service to patients in their care homes. Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.
We want to attract staff who embrace our ‘Right Care’ behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients – we want to make these part of our DNA.
