Senior Staff Nurse - Band 6
Are you a Registered nurse who is enthusiastic about working with people who have a learning disability and their associated health needs?
Set amongst the countryside on the outskirts of Nuneaton, Ashby House offers direct 24/7 nursing care overnight for short breaks to adults with a range of needs. These needs include mild to severe learning disabilities with associated complex health needs, sensory impairment, autism and complex behaviours.
At Ashby House, every day is different. As a senior staff nurse you will provide holistic nursing care for our service users, practising a wide range of clinical skills supporting people with learning disabilities in our respite service.

We’re a supportive team, who work together to ensure our patients have access to a meaningful and varied timetable of activities to explore their interests and develop new skills.
