Job Overview
We are seeking a compassionate, dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) to join our care home team. In this role, you will lead the clinical care for our residents, ensuring their health, dignity, and independence are supported at all times.

Team Leadership & Support

Supervise, mentor, and guide care assistants during assigned shifts to ensure high standards of personal care.
*
Delegate daily responsibilities fairly and ensure shift handovers are detailed and thorough.
Compliance & Communication

Maintain accurate, up-to-date, and confidential medical and care records.
*
Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, including GPs, physiotherapists, social workers, and palliative care specialists.
*
Communicate empathetically with residents’ families, providing regular updates on health status and care decisions.
Requirements & Qualifications

License/Registration: Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing with the relevant nursing board/council (e.g., NMC in the UK, State Board in the US).

Core Skills:
*
Proficiency in chronic disease management and complex care planning.
*
Strong observational and decision-making skills under minimal direct supervision.

Excellent communication, empathy, and active listening skills.
