“My colleagues said: ‘why do you want to be a community nurse?’. I said: ‘I want to give more time to my patients. I want to do a varied job, I don’t want to be on the same ward every day. I like planning my day the way I want’.”

What’s different about working in the community?

We care for patients in their own homes and in community settings across Kent, parts of Sussex and London. We support patients to leave hospital, stay out of hospital, and live a happy and healthy life at home - for as long as possible. Our work is practitioner-led and therapy-focused.

What our colleagues say:

“Being part of the staff disability and carers’ network has helped me accept my disabilities and learn to get the best from myself. Being able to share my experiences with others who are non-judgemental in a safe space has given me the confidence to approach and resolve adjustments and understanding of my condition, my limitations and my strengths at work. It has also helped me to support others going through similar struggles.” Tracy.
