ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you a qualified registered nurse with a current NMC pin?
Do you prefer to work nights?
Our care teams make a real difference every day and your professionalism, kindness and compassion, will be at the core of everything you do. Our Night Nurses are usually the most senior person on site during night shifts and will take charge in the event of any emergencies that arise as well as keeping wakeful watch on the security and safety of our residents and the home in general.

You will deliver, monitor, and re-evaluate care needs in partnership with each resident, their key carers, family members and the wider team at the home, as well as liaising effectively with GPs, hospitals and external agencies. The role is incredibly rewarding, and you will regularly be presented with a wide range of clinical experiences and opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge.
Monkscroft Care Centre, located in the heart of Cheltenham, offers outstanding person centred and friendly dementia and nursing care for up to 80 residents in a charming and comfortable environment.
