Are you passionate about supporting families and carers of
people living with dementia? Do you have the expertise to deliver
compassionate, specialist care while empowering those who care for
loved ones?
Join our team as an Admiral Nurse, in partnership with
Dementia UK, and make a real impact on those affected by dementia.
You will be joining an established team of Admiral Nurses
covering Kent.
This role involves regular travel within the regions, so we are
ideally looking for someone based in or near the area. You will work
with clients or from the office 3 days per week, with 2 days available
to work from home. There may also be occasions when you will need to
attend training and meetings at our hubs across the UK.
As an Admiral Nurse, your role will be pivotal in
providing expert nursing support to carers, helping them navigate the
complexities of dementia care. You will offer emotional and
psychological interventions to alleviate the challenges of caregiving,
especially at the early stages of diagnosis or pre-diagnosis, and
continue supporting carers through the various stages of dementia,
focusing on transitions, loss, and shifting relationships.
In
this role, you will manage a caseload of clients, conducting home
visits to assess their needs and wellbeing, and develop individual
intervention plans. You will empower carers by helping them build the
skills and confidence needed to support someone with dementia,
especially as behaviours change over time. Your work will ensure they
can provide better care while also protecting their own mental and
emotional health.
Beyond direct care, you will contribute to the continuous
development of the service, assisting with the evaluation and
improvement of dementia care practices. You will offer clinical
guidance to colleagues and external agencies, providing training and
educational resources to enhance the quality of care across the board.
This is an incredible opportunity to work in a specialist,
highly rewarding role where your skills and expertise will have a
profound impact on families living with dementia.
If you are an experienced nurse with a passion for supporting
carers and improving the quality of life for those affected by
dementia, we would love to hear from you.
What we are looking for:
You will be a qualified RMN or RGN with an accredited dementia
qualification, with at least 2 years of post-qualification experience
in dementia care. We are looking for someone who has worked in a
community setting, providing person-centered care and advocacy for
those living with dementia.
What We Offer:
In return, we offer a competitive salary, an employee
assistance programme, and ongoing professional development
opportunities. Your growth will be supported by Dementia UK’s
comprehensive practice development framework, and we are committed to
providing a supportive environment where you can enhance your skills
and make a meaningful impact.
Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a
difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and
protect our way of life.
RBL is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive
organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community

backgrounds and personal characteristics.
We may close this vacancy early if we believe we have enough
strong applications to be able to successfully fill the role(s).
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
