Care Practitioner

The Care Practitioner role bridges the gap between Health Care Assistants and Registered Nurses.

It involves leadership responsibilities. You'll play an active role in the running of your unit, managing a small Care Team to ensure people's needs are met.

Care Practitioners work under the supervision of our Registered Nurses to take on delegated clinical tasks including:

administering medication
basic nursing care such as PEG feeds and wound management
supervising and training junior colleagues
recording vital observations.

We have higher-than-average staffing levels when compared to other care providers, giving you more time to spend with the people you support.
