This is your chance to be a nurse who can really make a difference…
If you are looking for a new challenge, to escape the traditional healthcare environment please read on!
We are looking for an experienced nurse, with previous care home experience, that can demonstrate empathy, and deliver person centred care with compassion. Our nurses are essential for creating a strong foundation for us to develop a professional, safe and comfortable home, delivering the highest quality support and care.
Our nurses work as clinical practitioners within the home supporting the care team, providing clinical training to staff and assessing their competencies. Direct care to residents will be focussed on nursing/clinical procedures and to allow this, there will be supernumery hours. You will be expected to have excellent clinical skills including venepuncture, catheterisation, wound care, clinical assessment etc. You will work closely with the manager as part of the home’s leadership team and be expected to be part of the on call rota. This will involve you developing clinical procedures and protocols and support us with our desire for evidenced based care in our home.
You will be expected to role model best practise and inspire and mentor junior staff to achieve their potential, and you will support the general manager with producing rotas.
This is initially a maternity cover post with the possibility to go permanent at our other care home in Welwyn Garden City.
Potters Grange is a small (2 x 12 beds) boutique care home set in a convenient location in Hertfordshire on the border with North London’s Borough of Barnet.
The home is a beautiful luxury, state of the art space in which you will be proud to work. This, together with the fact that we are a small management team who value staff as individuals, and not just as a number, ensuring a happy work place and hopefully a long term career for the successful candidates.
We pride ourselves on creating a diverse and inclusive place to live and work, where everyone has the right to feel free to live a life with integrity and respect. A home that’s is safe haven for our residents and, whatever their individual characteristics and life choices.
A full induction is provided along with clinical skills training and Continuous Professional Development opportunities.
At Ardale 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.
