Welwyn Grange is a new care home set within the heart of the community in Welwyn Garden City. We will be bringing a fresher approach to residential, nursing and support.
Imagine actually having the time to deliver a high standard of nursing care to your patients - here at Welwyn Grange you will have this.
We have opportunities for Nurses who can demonstrate Competence, Choice and Compassion with real empathy and in return you will receive job security and great benefits.
Working as part of a small, friendly and competent clinical team, you will work with plenty of autonomy but in a supportive environment with a qualified nurse management team.
Our nurses are essential for creating a strong foundation for us to develop a professional, safe and comfortable home, delivering the highest quality person centred support and care.
With strong communication skills, our nurses are hands on and involved in every aspect of our residents’ care - ranging from personal care to managing and administering medication. While making sound clinical judgements you will role model best practise and inspire and mentor junior staff to achieve their potential. Senior Nurses will also be expected to run the shift in the absence of the Service Managers.
We also offer the opportunity to develop your own clinical skills to develop your career through our commitment to excellent training and support, although ideally you will already have skills such as venepuncture, wound care, nursing assessments, male and female catheterisation and administering medication such as insulin, IM injections and intravenous medication when required. You will be able to provide excellent end of life care, whilst assessing residents changing needs daily and updating care plans as required.
If you feel you have the skills, experience and confidence to achieve our high standards, have excellent people skills, and empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by our residents, we would love to hear from you, please click APPLY below.
Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for regulated activity, and you must hold a current PIN number with a minimum of six months before expiry.
We don’t just accept difference, we welcome it. No matter what your sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, religion or any other characteristic, we welcome your application. As a team we actively celebrate, support and thrive on diversity for the benefit of our residents and staff, and we believe this creates an environment of empowerment and mutual respect and therefore excellence in care.
Some benefits you will receive:
* enhanced maternity pay
* double pay on bank holidays
* contributory pension scheme
* free meal on shift
* increase in annual leave with length of service
* free parking
* opportunities to mentor students and junior staff, share your experience, and build their knowledge and confidence
