Hours: Full-time
Location: Northern Ireland

Help us bring specialist dementia support to more families in their local communities.
Our Clinics Programme, in partnership with Nationwide Building Society, is an innovative way of bringing Admiral Nurse support directly into local communities, providing face-to-face specialist dementia advice to those that need it the most. Since the partnership began in April 2024, over 7500 appointments have been delivered across more than 250 Nationwide and Virgin Money branches.
As an Admiral Nurse in our Nationwide Clinics Programme, you'll provide specialist nursing support to families affected by dementia through in-branch, face-to-face clinics across your geographical area. You'll offer practical advice, therapeutic support and expert guidance, helping families navigate the challenges dementia can bring. We are looking for someone to join our team on a one year fixed term contract to cover maternity leave.
This is a highly autonomous and mobile role. You'll typically spend three days each week delivering clinics from Nationwide branches across your area, with your remaining time focused on planning, developing and promoting the service. You'll manage your own rota and build strong relationships with local colleagues and networks to help raise awareness and ensure families know that support is available.
You'll be an active Registered Nurse on the NMC register with a post-registration qualification or training in dementia care or a relevant subject, but you don't need to have worked as an Admiral Nurse before. We’ll expect you to have previously worked with people who have dementia and their family carers and supporters in different settings. You'll have the confidence to work independently, strong clinical assessment and communication skills, and the ability to build warm and trusted relationships with families, professionals and local partners.
You'll also be comfortable promoting the service locally, including attending events, building networks, speaking to groups and delivering presentations. Strong IT skills are important, as you'll use our clinical systems to maintain accurate records.
You'll be part of a supportive national team of 18 nurses delivering clinics across the UK, with regular clinical supervision and opportunities for professional development. The role involves extensive travel and regular overnight stays, so you'll need the flexibility to travel across your area and ideally access to your own transport.
