Registered Nurse

Whether you already work with older people, or are looking for a new challenge, there is no better time to join the St Monica Trust. We recognise the contribution that our nurses make and are therefore pleased to announce the launch of our improved rates of pay and our development guide. We recognise the individual capabilities of our nurses and wish to reward them accordingly. With our new development structure, each of our nurses has an understanding of where they are, how they can progress and the training and support available to allow them to do so. Therefore, in addition to annual salary reviews, a rewarding working environment where they can use and develop their clinical skills, our nurses have a clear career pathway.

You may not have considered working in a care home before, but here it’s different…

St Monica Trust is at the cutting edge of caring for older people and people with dementia. We boast award winning, ample facilities and services and pride ourselves on our commitment to continued learning and development for our employees. Our Nurses enjoy the responsibility; taking the lead when caring for their residents, spending valuable time with them to build trust and rapport, really getting to know the person they are caring for. Our nurses have a much more rounded nursing experience in our nurse-led teams delivering consistent, resident-focussed care.

“I wanted to work for an organisation where I had time to care, where opinions mattered and where equality meant that everybody had a right to care and support”.

We have rewarding and fulfilling opportunities for Registered Nurses to join the St Monica Trust team in Cote Lane, Westbury on Trym, Bristol. Why not join us and see for yourself? This is your chance to make a difference – to utilise and enhance the clinical and nursing skills you’ve been honing throughout your career within a rewarding and forward thinking environment.

What we’re looking for:

The ideal candidates will have experience of working with older people or within specialist care units, such as working with people with dementia. However it is also the perfect opportunity for an experienced nurse looking for a change in specialism. In addition to top-class clinical skills and a proven track record of nursing, you’ll possess exceptional communication, team working, supervisory and problem solving skills. Equally important is a collaborative approach to reviewing and developing care plans with residents and the ability to build strong relationships of trust with residents, their families and teams.

What we offer:

We offer a competitive package including annual salary reviews, generous shift enhancements (100% for bank holidays, 42% for weekends and a fixed rate for weekday nights), contributory pension scheme, competitive occupational sick pay (after 12 months service), life assurance at 4 x salary, childcare vouchers, 29 days holiday per year plus bank holidays (pro-rata) and a good work-life balance (the majority of our Nurses work a maximum of 8 hours per day). In addition to this, we offer free on-site parking, savings on shopping, the opportunity to join our gym (and pool where available) and a subsidised restaurant. We also provide an extensive induction programme and training and development opportunities throughout your time here.

St Monica Trust is committed to an inclusive working environment. Appointment is subject to Enhanced DBS Disclosure.
