Make a Real Difference in a Close-Knit 30-Bed Nursing Home

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse (RGN/RMN) to join our dedicated team in a welcoming 30-bed nursing home, where every resident is known, valued, and supported as an individual.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work in a smaller, supportive environment where your clinical expertise and leadership directly impact the health, comfort, dignity and quality of life of residents with a range of complex and long-term health needs.

Our home provides high-quality, person-centred care in a setting that promotes strong relationships between staff, residents and families.

About the Role

As a Registered Nurse, you will:

• Deliver safe, effective and compassionate evidence-based nursing care
• Undertake comprehensive clinical assessments and develop individualised care plans
• Administer and manage medications in line with NMC and organisational standards
• Monitor residents’ health and respond promptly to changes in clinical condition
• Work collaboratively with GPs, community services, allied health professionals and families
• Provide high-quality palliative and end-of-life care where required
• Support residents with complex conditions including frailty, dementia, neurological conditions and long-term illnesses
• Lead, supervise and support care staff to maintain high standards of care delivery
• Maintain accurate, timely and confidential clinical documentation
• Contribute to safeguarding, infection prevention and control, and clinical governance
• Promote dignity, independence, choice and wellbeing for all residents
• Act as a role model for professional nursing practice within the home

About You

We are looking for a nurse who is:

• A Registered Nurse (RGN/RMN) with valid NMC registration
• Confident in clinical decision-making, assessment and care planning
• Compassionate, patient-focused and committed to high-quality care
• Able to recognise and respond effectively to deterioration in residents’ conditions
• A strong communicator who works well within a multidisciplinary team
• Organised, reliable and able to provide clinical leadership when required
• Committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice

Nursing home experience is desirable but not essential, as full support and induction will be provided for the right candidate.

What We Offer

• Starting salary of £38,500 per annum (pro rata)
• Band 5 equivalent nursing salary
• Paid enhancements for nights, weekends and bank holidays where applicable
• Supportive and friendly working environment
• Comprehensive induction and ongoing training programme
• Opportunities for professional development and clinical upskilling
• Regular supervision and supportive management structure
• A smaller 30-bed home allowing meaningful resident relationships
• Opportunity to make a genuine difference every day
• Pension scheme and statutory annual leave entitlement

Why Join Us?

With just 30 residents, our home offers a calm, supportive and person-centred environment where nurses can truly get to know the people they care for.

You will be part of a team that values your clinical judgement, compassion and professionalism, and where your contribution directly improves residents’ quality of life.

This is an ideal role for a nurse who wants to focus on holistic, relationship-based nursing care while working within a supportive and close-knit team.

To Apply

All appointments are subject to enhanced DBS clearance, satisfactory references and verification of NMC registration.
