Job description
Introduction
Are you a UK-based Registered Nurse (RGN) looking for a new opportunity to work in a supportive and kind environment that will help you develop and achieve your career goals to become the best you can be? If so, join our team at The Dean Neurological Centre in Gloucester. We are currently also offering a £3,600 Welcome Bonus!
As an experienced Registered Nurse from the NHS or private sector, you'll join the team at The Dean as Registered Nurse working 37.5 hours per week, where you will change lives for the better. The shifts patterns can be flexible through out the week.
Your career at Elysium will be enjoyable and rewarding as you develop specialist skills and make a real difference for some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Being a Registered Nurse at The Dean is a career that you can take pride in and enjoy. It’s what delivering great healthcare should feel like.
What you will be doing
As a Registered Nurse you will join a supportive multi-disciplinary team that works well together in caring for people of all ages who are living with neurological and long-term conditions, including those living with physical disabilities and recovering from traumatic injuries, and providing a high level of personal and rehabilitative care.
You will work as part of and lead wider teams alongside your therapy colleagues to deliver the individual care each person needs while maintaining accurate records.
It can be very physical working with people with limited mobility, providing personal care and although challenging, it is highly rewarding.

- A relevant nursing qualification
