ROLE SUMMARY

EdenCare is seeking only the most capable, fully qualified Registered Nurses possessing postgraduate nursing qualifications and a minimum of two years’ substantive, post-registration clinical experience. This requirement is central to our innovative and high-standard approach to home-based care for frail elderly clients. Our mission is to disrupt and transform the home care model—raising standards, supporting earlier discharge from hospital, and proactively mitigating/reducing rates of unplanned hospital readmission through expert clinical care and advanced care planning.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Deliver superior, evidence-based nursing care to frail elderly clients with multiple comorbidities, managing complex conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, COPD, dementia, and frailty syndromes.
• Undertake comprehensive assessments, develop, implement, and review individualised care plans incorporating best clinical practice and client/family input.
• Exercise advanced clinical judgement to manage polypharmacy safely, monitor drug interactions, and coordinate with GPs/pharmacists to optimise medication regimes.
• Perform high-level nursing interventions: wound management, catheter care, diabetes care, nutritional assessments, and advanced end-of-life care where appropriate.
• Facilitate early discharge from secondary/acute care and actively contribute to strategies that reduce readmission—delivering continuity and preventing crisis escalation.
• Champion EdenCare’s drive for sector disruption by delivering care that not only meets but exceeds CQC regulatory and quality requirements.
• Maintain rigorous, audit-ready clinical documentation and safeguard compliance at all times.
• Mentor, supervise, and train less-experienced colleagues, championing continuous service improvement.
• Respond decisively to acute changes in clinical status, ensuring seamless escalation and safeguarding.
