A home, not just a service

Our St Teresa's service supports adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and complex care needs. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, welcoming and empowering environment where every day brings new opportunities – whether that’s celebrating a personal milestone, supporting a medical need, or helping someone achieve more independence.

Your working hours

Our Registered Nurses work 12‑hour shifts, with day shifts running from 7:30 am – 8:00 pm and night shifts from 7:30 pm – 8:00 am. We also offer flexible options, including full‑time, part‑time, and half‑day shifts.

You’ll need to be flexible to work across weekdays and weekends as part of a rota. We’ll work with you to agree a pattern that suits the service and your availability.

Pay enhancement: £1.00 per hour will only apply to night working (8 pm Monday to 7 am Friday) and weekend working (8 pm Friday to 7 am Monday). This does not apply to Sleep‑Ins.

What you’ll do

• Assess, plan, deliver and evaluate personalised care plans
• Lead, supervise and support a team of care staff
• Administer and manage medicines safely
• Provide nursing support in line with NMC guidelines and best practice
• Monitor health and wellbeing, responding quickly to any changes
• Support daily living tasks, promoting independence, dignity and choice
• Liaise with families, health professionals and other agencies

Whether you’re newly qualified or have years of experience, you’ll receive full induction, training, and ongoing professional development.

What helps you shine here

• NMC registered nurse (essential)
• A caring, empathetic and professional approach
• Good leadership, communication and teamwork skills
• Ability to work flexibly, including weekends and on‑call
• Experience in disability, residential or complex care nursing (advantageous but not essential)
