HIOW Healthcare NHS Trust is looking for an inspirational registered nurse to work at Band 6 level as a Diabetes Senior Link Nurse working autonomously and as part of a team and to provide, and support to develop, a specialist service providing care to adults with diabetes within their own homes.
You will be responsible for delivering direct care, education and support to people with diabetes, their families and carers, and community nursing services in order to reduce hospital admissions and ensure people with diabetes continue to remain within their home environments. There will also be an opportunity to work towards creating an in-reach service to local acute hospital trusts in order to provide safe an effective discharge routes that enable patients to prepare for managing their diabetes in a community setting.

We work alongside our colleagues within Social Care, our Internal Safeguarding Team, specialist services (both within HIOW Healthcare Trust and external providers) to ensure our patients are provided with the care they require. Working collaboratively enhances staff development but also ensures that our patients are at the heart of everything we do.
