Community Nurse – Peritoneal Dialysis

Dorset – BH & DT Postcodes | £40,840 + Paid Mileage | 5-Day Working Week | Full Specialist Training

Are you a Registered Nurse looking for more time with your patients and the opportunity to deliver genuinely personalised care?

If you’re ready to step away from the pressures of a busy ward or want to develop your career within specialist community nursing, this could be an excellent move.

We’re recruiting for a Community Nurse to join a rapidly growing specialist healthcare provider, delivering peritoneal dialysis care to patients in their own homes across the BH and DT postcode areas of Dorset.

Previous renal or dialysis experience is not essential. You’ll receive comprehensive specialist training and ongoing support from an experienced renal team, making this a fantastic opportunity for an RGN looking to develop a new clinical specialism.

This is community nursing built around quality over quantity.

Rather than managing a busy ward or constantly moving between competing priorities, you’ll work with patients on a one-to-one basis in their own homes, giving you the time and autonomy to deliver the standard of care you were trained to provide.

You’ll build genuine relationships with your patients, support their independence and see the long-term impact your care has on your quality of life.

• £40,840 annual salary
• Paid mileage
• Structured 5-day working week
• 31 days’ annual leave plus your birthday off
• Private pension
• Performance-related bonuses
• Comprehensive specialist training in peritoneal dialysis
• Ongoing support from an experienced renal and clinical team
• Opportunity to develop specialist skills within a growing area of community healthcare

As a Community Nurse, you’ll provide specialist peritoneal dialysis care to patients across the BH and DT postcode areas, supporting them to receive safe, effective treatment without having to regularly attend hospital.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) and Manual Peritoneal Dialysis
• Connecting and disconnecting dialysis equipment during home visits
• Monitoring patients and supporting the safe delivery of treatment
• Educating and supporting patients and their families
• Working closely with hospital renal units and wider multidisciplinary teams
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation
• Promoting patient independence, dignity and confidence in managing care at home

To be considered, you’ll need:

• Registered General Nurse (RGN) qualification
• Active NMC registration
• Minimum 2 years’ post-registration nursing experience
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel throughout the BH and DT postcode areas
• Confidence working autonomously and managing your own workload
• Strong communication and patient education skills
• A genuine passion for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care

If you’re an experienced RGN with the right clinical foundations and attitude, full specialist training will be provided. Community experience is also welcomed but is not essential.

If you’re looking for a nursing role where you can spend more meaningful time with your patients, develop specialist clinical skills and deliver care in an environment where patients feel most comfortable – their own home – we’d love to hear from you.
