The Avondale care home is situated in a residential area of Motherwell, approximately ½ mile from Strathclyde Country Park. It is a 55 bedded adult care service, which provides frail elderly nursing care and dementia care for over 65s. We have a 35 bedded frail elderly unit and a specialised 20 bedded dementia unit. We are on the main bus route and are 1 mile from the nearest train station. Both Motherwell and nearby Hamilton have shopping centres.
This is a care home environment with excellent standards of care, graded 5 by the care inspectorate.
Confident enough to make autonomous decisions, while collaborative enough to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you will ideally have significant previous nursing experience in older people's care homes and demonstrate true commitment both to your own personal development and to the development of your wider team.
Your caring and professional approach goes without saying, as does your strong work ethic, reliability, and ability to build solid working relationships. In return, you will receive the support of some of the most outstanding nurse leaders in the sector, market-leading rates of pay, and almost limitless opportunity for career progression.
All nurses who work in our Older People Services receive a paid 15-minute handover following a 12-hour shift.
