Job description

It’s important to celebrate longevity and it is equally vital that longevity is coupled with an excellent quality of life and a sense of personal and social well being. Thus, our vision for our patients is they should live long and healthy lives, enjoying an active, fulfilling and independent existence– in which the ageing process becomes a positive rather than a negative experience.

Requirements

• NMC Registered Nurse
• You will have evidence of relevant on-going professional development
• Leadership skills
• Able to assess risks and take appropriate action to manage identified risks
• Able to work as part of a team, and take responsibility and management of the area.
