Registered Nurse

Job summary

Are you a compassionate and enthusiastic Registered Nurse looking for a rewarding career where you can make a real difference every day? Join our dedicated team in Padgate House Intermediate Care.

Working within our 35-bed unit, you will support patients to maximise their independence, achieve their rehabilitation goals, and prepare for a safe discharge home or to their usual place of residence.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a friendly, supportive, and forward-thinking multidisciplinary team where your nursing skills will have a direct impact on patients' recovery and quality of life. No two days are the same, and you'll play a vital role in helping patients achieve their rehabilitation goals while delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

Main duties of the job

You will complete holistic assessments, develop and review personalised care plans, and work with patients to promote independence and achieve their individual goals.

You will deliver a high standard of clinical care, including medication administration, monitoring patient progress, recognising changes in clinical condition, and escalating concerns appropriately. You will support safe admissions and discharges, ensuring patients receive coordinated care throughout their stay. Working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to a positive recovery- focused environment, working closely with patients, families, carers, and colleagues to deliver

person-centred care. You will advocate for patients, promote dignity and choice, and ensure their individual needs and preferences remain at the heart of everything we do.

You will contribute to maintaining high clinical standards through accurate documentation, effective communication, infection prevention practices, and participation in service improvement. You will also support learners and colleagues, while continuing to develop your own knowledge, skills, and professional practice.
