We are looking for an experienced Qualified Nurse to lead our admissions process across our two Nursing Homes in both Cardiff and Newport, and deliver outstanding customer service to our residents and families at what can be a very challenging time. The Admissions Nurse is a newly created position which will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of a comprehensive high quality and effective bed management service which works in close liaison with the dis-charge, placement, and social services teams of our customers. The role will also act as the first point of contact for elders and their families, and will support them through the admissions process by building trust and communicating in a clear and confident manner. Working in conjunction with the Registered Manager and/or Clinical Lead, the Admissions Nurse will use a variety of clinical nursing tools to assess the individual health care needs of each person and advise on the most appropriate level of care.
