About the Role

Are you an experienced community nurse looking to take the next step in your career, or an established Community Matron seeking a new challenge?

We're excited to offer an opportunity for a Community Matron to join our Adult Community Services in Sittingbourne, Kent.

Working within our Integrated Care Teams (ICTs), you'll play a pivotal role in delivering proactive, coordinated care to patients living with complex health needs, frailty and long-term conditions. You'll work closely with multidisciplinary colleagues and partner organizations to help people remain independent, improve health outcomes and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.

This is a highly autonomous role that combines advanced clinical practice, care coordination, leadership and service development, enabling you to make a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of your local community.

As this is a community-based position, a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle are essential.

Main Responsibilities

As a Community Matron, you will:

• Manage a caseload of patients with complex health needs, long-term conditions and frailty

• Undertake comprehensive clinical assessments and develop personalized care plans in collaboration with patients, carers and the wider multidisciplinary team

• Coordinate and review care interventions to ensure patients receive timely, effective and person-centered care

• Support proactive case management and early intervention approaches to reduce avoidable hospital admissions

• Promote self-management, health promotion and preventative care strategies

• Recognize and respond appropriately to signs of deterioration through effective clinical decision-making

• Provide clinical leadership, professional guidance and support to colleagues within the Integrated Care Team

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation in accordance with professional, organizational and legal standards

• Contribute to audit, quality improvement activities and service development initiatives

• Act as an advocate for patients, ensuring their needs and preferences remain central to care planning and delivery

About You

We're looking for a compassionate and motivated registered nurse who is passionate about delivering outstanding community care and improving outcomes for patients with complex healthcare needs.

Essential Requirements

• Current NMC registration

• Significant post-registration experience within community, primary care or integrated care services

• Experience managing patients with long-term conditions, frailty and complex healthcare needs

• Strong clinical assessment and decision-making skills

• Excellent communication, leadership and organizational abilities

• Knowledge of health promotion, prevention and community-based care delivery

• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary team

• Full UK driving license and access to a vehicle

Desirable

• Community Specialist Practitioner qualification or other relevant postgraduate study

• Experience leading or contributing to service improvement and quality initiatives

• Experience supporting workforce development, supervision or mentorship

• A commitment to continuing professional development and advancing community care practice

Why Join Us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a service that is focused on delivering proactive, integrated and person-centered care within the community.

You'll have the autonomy to use your advanced clinical skills, the support of a collaborative multidisciplinary team and access to excellent development opportunities, all while making a meaningful difference to patients' lives every day.

If you're passionate about community nursing and committed to helping people live healthier, more independent lives, we'd love to hear from you.
