Job description

We are looking for a Night Nurse to work 12hrs per week (1 shift a week).

Are you ready for a change in your career or healthcare environment? If so, your skills and knowledge would be invaluable for keeping our residents and students healthy and safe. Thanks to your passion for their wellbeing and undeniable drive to deliver high-quality care, they’ll be empowered to experience a world without limits.

The students we support are medically complex and have a range of disabilities, including cerebral palsy, ASD, Spina Bifida, global developmental delay, acquired brain injury and hearing or visual impairment. As their nurse, you’ll share your expertise with the team because together, we make sure each person gets the personalised health care they need to manage pain or symptoms of their conditions so they can live the life they want. For you and us, it’s all about promoting independence and enabling them to study, socialise, enjoy their passions, hobbies and day-to-day activities.

You’ll:

Deliver day-to-day nursing
Be comfortable working alone as an autonomous clinician (alongside skilled care staff) or as part of a small nurse team
Advise and guide our teams on health-related matters
Develop comprehensive health plans
Help the young people manage their medication with their care and support workers
Provide emergency nursing care as required
Undertake medical procedures and protocols
Help students and residents develop the skills and knowledge they need to manage their wellbeing
Liaise with GPs, pharmacies and consultants
Keep records and health-related documentation up-to-date.

If you’re able to work autonomously in a residential setting, confident in making acute clinical decisions and have a desire to make a positive impact, then you’re the nurse we’re looking for. If you have recent and ongoing competency in respiratory care and management of tracheostomy/laryngectomy, that will benefit us. You don’t necessarily need experience working with people with disabilities as we are happy to teach you all you’ll need to know. What we can’t teach, however, is compassion, which is vital for fitting in with our team and way of working.

In return for your guidance and medical expertise, you’ll enjoy a minimum of 25 days paid holiday, plus eight statutory public holidays pro-rata. We support revalidation, and you’ll gain experience working for an outstanding provider with CQC.

All our nurses work shift patterns that can start from 8pm and 8am finish with every other weekend working. You are required to be awake for the duration of the night shift.

Join National Star as a nurse, and your care will help create experiences without limits. From the first attempt of administering their own medication to the triumphant achievement of speaking for the first time after an acquired brain injury, the needs of the young people we support are unique. Through the highs and the lows, any moments of pain and all the celebrations, you’ll have supported and enabled their care to enhance the events they love and the social calendar they choose. It’s their life. You’ll make sure they’re living it healthily.
