Thank you for your interest in joining us at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
.

We pride ourselves in striving to be an employer of choice.

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.

Successful applicants will be invited to attend a Selection Day at Carew House, Bodmin on 21 August 2026. This will be a morning or afternoon to be confirmed

We are looking for caring, motivated and dynamic Community Nurses to join our friendly, supportive team. This is a great opportunity for someone who is confident working autonomously while still valuing strong team collaboration. You will be part of the Toressa Community Nursing Team, working across Penntorr Health Centre and St Barnabas Hospital, covering Torpoint, Saltash and the surrounding areas. Our team works with local GP practices (Rame Group, Quay Lane, Port View and Saltash) as well as health and social care colleagues, therapists and voluntary sector partners.

We’re looking for someone who brings enthusiasm for community nursing, is committed to person‑centred care and is keen to contribute to innovative ways of meeting the changing needs of our community. We welcome applications from nurses who are proactive, adaptable and confident in assessing and managing care in patients’ homes. An interest in working closely with patients, carers and wider MDT partners is essential, along with a commitment to continuous professional development.

The role involves regular travel to patient homes and community sites, along with the transportation of essential clinical equipment. Given the limited public transport options in Cornwall, candidates must have access to appropriate transport that can be used for work duties.

Shift patterns are 08:00–16:00 and 14:00–22:00.

Following an initial induction and ongoing clinical supervision, you will be responsible for:
Assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care, without direct supervision, to patients, carers and relatives within their home environment. The aim is to enable them to enjoy maximum independence and optimum quality of life. To work in partnership with patients and carers to offer support and advice and promote informed choice. To work autonomously, providing effective, evidence‑based care in line with competency and training record and organisational policies, procedures and guidelines.

To support all locality teams by working in a flexible way and moving to work with the team in most need on a daily, weekly or monthly basis as service provision demands.

We are an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital‑based care to improve people’s physical and mental health.

This job is currently only open to people who already work for the NHS in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly.

We are committed to supporting our dedicated staff, so only current employees of the following organisations can apply:

• Cornwall Foundation Trust
• Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
• Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board

If you do not currently work for one of these NHS organisations, your application will not be considered at this time.
