We are currently recruiting for an experienced Registered Nurse to join our dedicated team in Whitby. This is an exciting opportunity to support a vibrant lady with an acquired brain injury who lives in her own home and enjoys an active social life.
She has a fantastic sense of humour and enjoys getting out and about in the community, whether that’s going to the pub, shopping, visiting the cinema or theatre, or trying something new. We are looking for a Nurse who is compassionate, confident, reliable and able to bring a positive approach to care.
The Role
This is a unique nursing opportunity offering a 1 week on / 1 week off rota, providing excellent continuity for the individual while giving you a full week away from work between shifts.
During your week on, you will work sleeping night shifts within the individual’s home. You will be supported throughout the night by a dedicated Waking Night Support Worker, providing additional support overnight.
You will work closely with the Clinical Package Lead Nurse, Personal Assistants, Support Workers, family members and wider healthcare professionals to ensure safe, consistent and person-centred care.

About You
