Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen in our Community Nursing Teams - Out of Hours.
The Oldham community District Nursing teams work across the 5 locations in Oldham. You will provide care to housebound patients in their own homes or residential care homes.

Successful candidates will bring their positive, can-do approach to care and we welcome individuals with ideas and a willingness to be involved in the innovation that is the integration of Health and Social care across the region.
Our commitment to you
- A supportive leadership team who will work hard to make sure you have what you need to perform at your best
- Career development/training options
- Community specific training support from dedicated practice based educators with specialist training such as end of life care.
- Support for your health and wellbeing.
- Newly Qualified nurses will be supported with both a corporate preceptorship and thorough local induction
