ABOUT THE ROLE:
Are you a Registered Nurse who enjoys making a meaningful and positive difference in the lives of elderly people?
Are you qualified with a current NMC pin?
Our care teams make a significant difference every day, and your professionalism, warmth, and compassion will be central to everything you do. At times, you may be the only nurse on duty, and you will be in charge of leading and managing the care team to ensure that high nursing and personal care standards are fulfilled, as well as providing clinical leadership and advice as needed. You will deliver, monitor, and re-evaluate care needs in collaboration with each resident, their main carers, family members, and the home’s overall team, as well as efficiently communicating with GPs, hospitals, and external organisations.

If these shifts and hours do not work for you, we can also offer casual hours that allow you to be flexible and maintain a work-life balance. Simply tell us what you’re looking for when you apply.
Langford View provides specialised and high-quality residential, nursing, early-stage dementia, and respite care for up to 60 residents in a serene, pleasant, and comfortable environment.
