About The Role
In partnership with Dementia UK, we are looking to add to our team of successful and highly-valued Admiral Nurses and are now looking to appoint an Admiral Nurse to be based in the Fife & Perthshire area on a part time basis.
This role would require regular travel within Fife and Perthshire area of Scotland and it would benefit the candidate to be in close proximity to this area. As part of this role, there maybe times where you are required to attend training and meetings within our hubs around the UK.
Admiral Nurses are specialist dementia nurses who work with families who are caring for a loved one living with dementia who have complex needs. As an Admiral Nurse you will provide specialist one-to-one support, guidance, and practical solutions for families, alongside supporting best practice and providing role modelling.
We are looking for someone who has the compassion, focus and desire to become real ambassadors for dementia care. Based at home with regular travel you will provide a peripatetic service, visiting people in their homes and community settings.
The successful candidate will support the Lead Admiral Nurse in providing this service.
Requirements
You will be a RMN or RGN (with an accredited dementia qualification) and have had a minimum 2 years post qualification experience in dementia care. You will have experience working in a community setting providing person-centered dementia care and advocacy for this client group.
You will work with and support families and carers of people living with dementia, by using a range of interventions to help people live positively with the condition and develop skills to improve communication and maintain relationships.
Working collaboratively with other professionals, Admiral Nurses seek to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their carers.
In return we offer a competitive salary, employee assistance programme and on-going professional development. Your professional development will be additionally supported by Dementia UK's comprehensive practice development framework.
One of our Admiral nurses and their experience of joining RBL.
I became an Admiral Nurse with the RBL in 2016. I had worked in OPMH in the NHS for 20 years. Becoming an Admiral Nurse was the best thing I have ever done in my career. I have the freedom to work creatively with Carers, and people living with dementia, in helping them to meet identified needs. I was worried initially having not worked specifically with service men and women previously, but soon became aware that this is something you learn about as you engage with the carers and beneficiaries, and the wider RBL family. It is truly rewarding.
As a team, we do cover a large area; however, I manage my own caseload and I work from home, which enables me to be efficient with my time. Our manager works as part of the team and is very supportive. Full IT support is also on hand. We meet up as a team regularly, both face to face and via technology. As Admiral Nurses we all receive excellent supervision via RBL, and DUK, and a variety of training and development opportunities. We also have a good pension scheme and rewards and benefits package. I can honestly say I have never looked back and would not want to be doing anything else.
