You’ll be able to build meaningful relationships with the people we support, getting to know them and understanding their unique care needs.

Your role will include:

• Supporting fun and engaging activities such as arts and crafts, walks, drives, music, films, and cookery.
• Assessing the nursing care needs of the people we support and working with the team to create, implement, and review their Health Action Plans, within their broader Person Centred Plans.
• Responding to and managing health concerns and medical emergencies as they arise.
• Administering prescribed medications, treatments, and interventions, ensuring to monitor and record their effects accurately.
• Auditing, ordering, and safely storing medications.
