Wye Valley NHS Trust Staff Nurse - Ledbury District Nurses
The closing date is 24 September 2026
Job summary
District Nursing Team - Ledbury base
The East District Nursing team supports patients registered within the East Primary Care Network. We have formed excellent working relationships with our GP colleagues and the wider multi-disciplinary areas.
We are looking for an experienced and enthusiast colleague to join our dedicated and supportive team based in Ledbury 30 hours per week
Main duties of the job
Most of our work is with housebound patients but, we also run a District Nurse Clinic for non-housebound patients who need the very specific skills of a District Nurse to support their treatment.
The focus of District Nursing is to support patients towards self-management, enabling them to continue to live as full and productive a life as possible, through education, equipment and or lifestyle changes. We also have the privilege of supporting people and their families at the end of their lives, working in close liaison with the Hospice Teams and Specialist Palliative Care Nurses.
As community teams we enjoy working with many other health and social care professionals, Care Homes and Care Agencies. All staff are expected to record their work electronically on EMIS, our electronic patient record system which links into the GP services to allow a seamless service provision. Training and on-going support will be given to support staff with EMIS and other electronic systems they will need to use.
About us
Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT , the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman: "The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."
Our values -Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
