Each 28-bedded ward underwent refurbishment to provide patients a dementia friendly environment in Central London. We take pride in setting good standard of care in elderly and ensuring our nursing workforce has the necessary skills to deliver the best care possible.

We are looking for senior staff nurses who will assist the ward manager in providing day to day support for the nursing team in providing strong leadership and reviewing the standards of the Unit.

The team prides itself on a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to patient care committed to high clinical standards in a supportive environment. The post will suit a pro-active practitioner who wants to make a difference for patients who have complex needs and will be able to lead and motivate nursing staff in the provision of high quality patient focused care and an awareness of independent escalation of process.

You will also be expected to support the educational programme on the unit. This is a post that will suit an ambitious committed individual who wants to make a difference in caring for older, frail and vulnerable people in our community. Older person's experience is desirable but not essential.
