An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, innovative, and enthusiastic community staff nurse/RN to join our multidisciplinary team for adults with learning disabilities. This post is particularly suited to a newly/recently qualified RNLD. However, if you’re a Registered Nurse from a different part of the nursing register and you have a passion or a special interest in wanting to work with people with learning disabilities, their families and carers then I’d really like to have a conversation with you. We will also consider applications from 3rdstudent nurses nearing the end of their training and are about to register with the NMC.
We are a very caring team and pride ourselves in being creative and innovative and being driven to offer a service which is genuinely person centred to some of the most vulnerable people in society. Hounslow is a very diverse Borough so being creative in our approach is second nature. Every approach and intervention offered is designed to meet individual needs of the people we service.
In 2021 we were nationally recognised and received a ‘highly commended’ accolade from the National Pharmacy Awards. In 2022 we reached the finals at the National Learning Disability and Autism Awards and later that year received the Trust’s ‘Outstanding Clinical Team of the year. We are rightly proud of what we have achieved so working in innovative ways is the standard we always aim for!
