You will provide person‑centred care to residents with a wide range of physical and learning disabilities, autism, and complex health needs. The ideal candidate will be NMC registered, physically capable of meeting demanding care requirements, and able to communicate effectively with residents, families, and colleagues.

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
