We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our friendly and supportive Care of the Elderly medical and nursing teams. We are committed to providing and maintaining high standards of patient care, specialising in Dementia.
You will be joining a dedicated and enthusiastic nursing team who will help and support you, whether you are starting out in your career or have years of experience.
Are you looking to expand your nursing career and be an important part of an amazing team? Do you want a position where your ideas and creativity in providing patient care are listened to and valued?
We need people who are creative, enthusiastic, and have the compassion needed to provide a nurturing environment for those in our care. It takes people with big hearts to achieve the standards we require, and if you feel that you do – then we'd love to hear from you!
This is no ordinary ward - we've won over some distressed patients with hat-making competitions, invited confused patients to team meetings where they've engaged and felt useful. We've had tea parties and memory boxes and plan to do much, much more! If you are the type of person who thrives on finding new approaches or has the instinct to resolve issues by 'thinking outside the box', then you're the person we're looking for!
Many of us have personal experience of family and friends who are elderly, have dementia, delirium, and periods of confusion. We all wish that their care and the services on offer to support their families, our families, are inspirational and supportive - that's what we are working hard to improve!
Do you believe you have something special to offer that will improve services while giving you the opportunity to develop your career? This experience will give you invaluable experience while providing a sense of worth often lacking in other areas of nursing. We value the time, effort, and energy put in by our people - and this is a great opportunity to join 'Team Amazing!'
We are a secure ward due to the nature of our patients to provide a safe environment.
We pride ourselves on our high standards of care. We have great facilities and are looking at new and innovative ways of making our patients' time with us a rewarding and inspiring experience.
