First Community Health and Care is recruiting Band 5 community staff nurses to work in Redhill and Oxted, Surrey, paying between £32,073 and £39,043 a year. Applications close on 19 November 2026.

The permanent posts are with the NHS community health provider, which delivers care in patients' homes, clinics and community settings across east Surrey rather than in a hospital ward. Community staff nurses visit patients where they live, supporting people with long-term conditions, wounds, medication and personal care, and helping them stay independent at home.

The roles are based in Redhill, postcode RH1 1YB, and Oxted, postcode RH8 0BT. The advert is listed on the organisation's current vacancies page, which was updated on 11 November 2026, and applications are made through NHS Jobs, the NHS recruitment service.

Community nurses often work alone in patients' homes, so the role suits nurses who are confident making clinical decisions, managing their own caseload and working closely with GPs, district nursing teams and social care colleagues.
