ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a Registered Nurse who thrives on making a real and positive difference to the lives of older people?

Are you qualified with a current NMC pin?

Our care teams make a real difference every day. Your professionalism, kindness, and compassion will be at the core of everything you do. At times, you may be the only nurse on shift and will be responsible for leading and managing the care team to ensure high standards of nursing and personal care are met, providing clinical leadership and guidance where necessary. 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, offering a wide range of clinical experiences to develop your skills and opportunities for career development, all within a nurturing, engaging, and rewarding environment.

If these shift/hours do not suit you, we can also offer hours on a casual basis to give you flexibility and work-life balance. Simply let us know what you are looking for when you apply.

Located on the outskirts of the historic medieval market town of Malmesbury, Athelstan House is a purpose-built home surrounded by a large landscaped garden. It offers compassionate, individualised residential, nursing, dementia, respite, intermediate, and day care for up to 80 residents in a modern, comfortable environment.

AND IN RETURN

The rewards for our Nurses are significant. Our roles offer greater flexibility in working patterns, more autonomy with decision-making, and the opportunity to build close relationships with residents in a consultative, case-management role.

The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1 year, and we’re currently the second-largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Being a not-for-profit means we reinvest every penny into our residents, colleagues, and care homes. We offer a competitive salary, training, and development opportunities.

• 30 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
• Higher rates of pay at weekends
• Fully funded renewal of your NMC PIN
• A Company pension
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
