Community Nurse – Peritoneal Dialysis
Dorset – BH & DT Postcodes | £40,840 + Paid Mileage | 5-Day Working Week | Full Specialist Training

Are you a Registered Nurse looking for more time with your patients and the opportunity to deliver genuinely personalised care?

If you’re ready to step away from the pressures of a busy ward or want to develop your career within specialist community nursing, this could be an excellent move.

We’re recruiting for a Community Nurse to join a rapidly growing specialist healthcare provider, delivering peritoneal dialysis care to patients in their own homes across the BH and DT postcode areas of Dorset.

Previous renal or dialysis experience is not essential. You’ll receive comprehensive specialist training and ongoing support from an experienced renal team, making this a fantastic opportunity for an RGN looking to develop a new clinical specialism.

Why This Role?

This is community nursing built around quality over quantity.

Rather than managing a busy ward or constantly moving between competing priorities, you’ll work with patients on a one-to-one basis in their own homes, giving you the time and autonomy to deliver the standard of care you were trained to provide.

You’ll build genuine relationships with your patients, support their independence and see the long-term impact your care has on their quality of life.

Paid mileage
Structured 5-day working week
31 days’ annual leave plus your birthday off
