Registered Nurse – Level 1

Description

Regularly mentioned to be the spine of health care, qualified Nurses offer crucial knowledge and support to encourage improved health, decrease illness and accomplish optimum recovery from a variety of health problems. Without their care and devotion the patient journey would be vastly unfamiliar to that which is considered to be the norm today.

With these hard-working professionals in mind, ASA Recruitment are seeking empathetic qualified Nurses with kind natures who are eager to make a difference to Edinburgh’s elderly population. Situated in our client’s Edinburgh based care and nursing homes, you will be required to apply your caring personality and knowledge of nursing to deliver high quality care to the homes’ elderly residents.

Earning up to £20 per hour, characteristic responsibilities of a Nurse based within one of our clients care homes in Edinburgh include:

• Undertaking physical examinations and understanding health histories before making important care decisions.
• Supporting the promotion of health and educating individuals and their family members on this (where necessary).
• Administering medications and/or treatments.
• Managing care plans, in partnership with a team of health care professionals such as care assistants, physiotherapists and senior care staff.

Working in collaboration with additional health and social care professionals will assist you, as a nurse, to gain a well-rounded understanding of a patient’s wellbeing using your shared expertise. This will encourage a more effective approach to monitoring patients’ behaviour and overall health which in turn should lead to more tailored care and therefore better outcomes for these vulnerable individuals in Edinburgh.

Offering flexible shifts to suit your lifestyle, the role of a qualified nurse is suited to students, parents with young families or for permanently employed staff who are looking to pick up extra pocket money in their spare time.
