There’s a place for you at CNWL. We’re passionate about delivering first‑class patient‑centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patient’s own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people. We’re always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust. With every new employee we’re hoping to find our future leaders and we’ll support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career.

Working as part of newly formed Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, the Community Nursing Teams in Hillingdon provide nursing care to house‑bound people in their own homes or residential homes seven days a week. Band 5 nurses work closely with the people who use our services, their families, friends and carers and play an important contribution in how people experience our services. Band 5 nurses are expected to be kind and responsive but professional and informative and contribute to the quality of the services we provide by:

• Keeping the people who use our services as safe as possible through the use of sound clinical skills and effective risk assessments.
• Ensuring the best possible clinical outcomes by using up‑to‑date skills and adhering to evidence‑based policies and procedures.
• Ensuring the people using our services have a good experience by respecting, empowering and working in partnership with people throughout the care planning process.

We believe that the best health care is delivered by multi‑disciplinary teams working well together and in partnership with other teams and services to provide seamless care. Band 5 nurses work as part of a team and you will contribute to the success of the team by drawing support from more experienced nurses and other health professionals but also by supervising other staff and student nurses to ensure they are working to the standards which the people using our services deserve.
