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.

We are looking to recruit two motivated, enthusiastic and clinically capable Band 5 trained nurses to join our nursing team for our 25 bedded Ward at Helston Community Hospital. The trained nurse role requires the post holder to be committed to the ongoing development of the ward and multi-disciplinary team working. We aim to deliver the highest standard of patient and rehabilitative care to our predominantly elderly patients.

The ideal applicant will possess a good level of organisational, communication and clinical skills relevant to the post and be able to act as a positive role model. You will be undertaking a range of Early, Late and Night duties on a rotational basis in order to support 24-hour nursing care, 7 days per week. Although based at Helston Community Hospital, a flexible working approach is required to support other hospitals in the locality as service needs require.

We require motivated, forward thinkers with a “can-do” attitude and a passion for nursing. In return we will support you in your career and involve you in the future development of services.
