Hi, I’m Hannah and I have been working as a Band 6 Specialist Respiratory Nurse in the Community for 5 years now and honestly, I can’t imagine working anywhere else. We are looking for a Band 6 Respiratory Specialist nurse to join our team.

Our team works with patients in the community to support them at home with their chronic respiratory conditions, as well as in their pulmonary rehabilitation rehab journey. For me one of the most rewarding parts of the job is being able to support patients to improve their quality of life, because it allows you to develop closer therapeutic relationships with your patients. In our team we have Specialist Nurses, Physiotherapists and Respiratory support workers, and we work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary Team.

I moved to this team from a secondary care setting and was anxious about the move, but it has absolutely been the best decision I’ve made. I can’t see myself leaving this job unless I win the Euromillions. I love supporting patients to take control of their own care and gain their independence.

We are looking for a qualified and registered Nurse, but our goal is to find someone with passion and interest in respiratory conditions and supporting people in their own homes. Therefore, we are happy to consider candidates without community and/or respiratory training.

If you are successful, you will be working with patients with chronic lung conditions to deliver Pulmonary rehabilitation and specialist respiratory care. You will be completing assessments for patients, developing care plans, and implementing and evaluating interventions. You will provide oxygen assessment and management. You will also support in providing quality end of life care.

The successful candidate will be supporting the team by managing, promoting, and delivering our Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme with classes running throughout the county. The classes are a fantastic way to get to know and support your patients and we love seeing them discover their independence in managing their illness, with vast improvement to their quality of life and symptom burden.

We work collaboratively with colleagues in Primary and Secondary care services and other providers who deliver Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. We seek to maximise opportunities for individuals and their families by enabling them to look beyond their limitations to achieve their goals and aspirations.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.



Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care setting but also with the community. These services include Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health, Forensic & Specialist mental health, Learning Disabilities, Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry, Substance misuse, Social care, Research & Development.



To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates that share our vision & values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people & members of our ethnic minorities & LGBTQ+ communities.



Regrettably, we cannot offer sponsorship for all our job roles. If you apply for a role that we cannot offer sponsorship for, unfortunately, your application form will be rejected from the process.
