Summary

This Registered Nurse post offers a great opportunity for someone who is self-motivated and committed to continue to improve the services provided at Stibbs House, one of our respite services in St. George, Bristol.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave.

At Stibbs House we support people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. The guests we support all live at home with their families or carers and come to respite for short breaks. Therefore, you will be flexible to work a mixture of days, nights and weekends.

You will be a named nurse to a group of people we support and will be responsible for reviewing clinical care plans and risk assessments, and cascading information to the wider teams.

The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people in a social care setting and have a “can do” attitude, demonstrating optimism and motivation in your work, while inspiring others.

In addition, you will have excellent organisational skills and be able to take on ad-hoc projects and initiatives, which will include working with our partners on health promotion and maintenance.

Essentials for the role:

- Registered Nurse with excellent clinical and organisational skills.

- Passion for providing truly individualised care.

- Previous experience of working with people with a learning disability in a CQC regulated service.

- Able to demonstrate excellent communication skills.

- Able to be a role model to staff, including supervising staff members and mentoring students.

- Experience of developing and implementing person centred approaches.

- Experience in a clinical environment.

- Excellent self-management and team working skills.

- Experience of clinical governance.

Here at Milestones Trust, we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity we are today. That’s why we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:

- 34 days’ annual leave, including recognised public holidays

- Learning and development to support your career growth

- Nationally recognised qualifications, from entry‑level care to management

- Flexible working, with rotas provided in advance

- Occupational Sick Pay after two years, increasing with service

- Health Cash Plan after probation, offering at least £695 cashback for health treatments (dental, optical, therapies, maternity/paternity, prescriptions)

- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay

- Free enhanced DBS check

- Dayforce Wallet, giving you access to your earnings before payday

- Employee referral scheme with financial rewards

- Employee Assistance Programme from day one, offering confidential 24/7 support

- Company pension scheme to help grow your retirement savings

We pride ourselves with being able to offer staff opportunities to develop and progress their careers within the Trust.
