Band 6 Caseload Manager/Lead Nurse

We are looking for a passionate and skilled Band 6 Caseload Manager/Lead Nurse to join our Thanet Community Nursing Teams, to be based at our brand new £10million state-of-the-art Thanet Health Hub.

Our new hub directly supports the Governments new 10-year plan, that places community care at the heart of our health system.

This plan represents one of the most significant shifts in NHS history: moving care from hospitals into neighbourhoods, from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. And here at Kent Community Health, we're right at the forefront.

Opened in Autumn 2025, our new Thanet Health Hub consists of an NHS community diagnostic centre, a range of community NHS services, including community nursing, relocation of an existing GP surgery and signposting and support to access health and care services provided by voluntary sector organisations, such as Age UK.

Full details of our new hub can be found here Thanet health hub | Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust.
