Community Learning Disability Nurse

Make a Difference Every Day in Learning Disability Nursing

We're looking for a compassionate, motivated and enthusiastic Learning Disability Nurse who is passionate about delivering outstanding person-centred care. This is a rewarding opportunity to work within a supportive multidisciplinary team, helping adults with learning disabilities achieve the best possible health and wellbeing outcomes.

As a valued member of the service, you'll bring a positive, flexible and proactive approach, with a genuine commitment to partnership working and collaborative care. No two days are the same, as you'll manage a diverse caseload that reflects the unique needs of the local community.

Working closely with colleagues across health and social care, you'll build strong relationships with individuals, families and carers, ensuring care is coordinated, holistic and tailored to each person's goals and aspirations. Through effective communication and the use of accessible tools and approaches, you'll champion person-centred practice and empower individuals to have a voice in their care.

You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of community settings, completing high-quality, holistic assessments and supporting individuals to access the right care at the right time. While working independently, you'll receive ongoing guidance, supervision and support from experienced senior staff, helping you grow in confidence and develop your professional skills.
