What does a Community Nurse do?

Community Nurses deliver high-quality clinical care in patients’ homes, residential settings, GP practices and community clinics. Unlike hospital-based roles, Community Nurses often work with greater autonomy, managing caseloads that can include wound care, medication administration, long-term condition management and discharge support.

Community Nurse salary and pay rates in England

Community Nurse salaries in England are usually aligned to NHS Agenda for Change pay bands, although actual earnings can vary by setting, location, experience and whether the role is permanent or locum.
