Working with Meaningful Care Matters, we have started to implement the Butterfly approach of care, where we are one family at Pembroke House. Can you make someone feel special? Will you turn the radio up and put on your dancing shoes? Looking for a nursing role where it is about the person, not the tasks and leading a team of focused Carers? We have a very different approach to delivering care and are now recruiting for a Nurse to join our team at Pembroke House in Gillingham.

The home has a ‘family run’ feel and we have carefully created a supportive, friendly and close-knit team, making it a unique and very special place to work.
Key responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
- Offering support and companionship to our residents
- Liaising with relatives and enhancing the quality of life of our residents
- Administering medication

The Person: This role would suit a highly organised individual, preferably who has experience in a previous nursing post.
