One of our Admiral nurses and their experience of joining RBL. “I became an Admiral Nurse with the RBL in 2016. I had worked in OPMH in the NHS for 20 years. Becoming an Admiral Nurse was the best thing I have ever done in my career. I have the freedom to work creatively with Carers, and people living with dementia, in helping them to meet identified needs. I was worried initially having not worked specifically with service men and women previously, but soon became aware that this is something you learn about as you engage with the carers and beneficiaries, and the wider RBL family. It is truly rewarding. As a team, we do cover a large area; however, I manage my own caseload and I work from home, which enables me to be efficient with my time. Our manager works as part of the team and is very supportive. Full IT support is also on hand. We meet up as a team regularly, both face to face and via technology. As Admiral Nurses we all receive excellent supervision – via RBL, and DUK, and a variety of training and development opportunities. We also have a good pension scheme and rewards and benefits package. I can honestly say I have never looked back and would not want to be doing anything else. “ For more detailed information about the role, please see our Vacancy Information Pack attached to our direct advert.
