What Is an Admiral Nurse?
This post is for a Nurse with a passion for, and experience of, providing relationship-centred dementia care in order to improve the experience of patients, carers or families affected by dementia with complex needs.
Admiral Nurses are specialist dementia nurses whose role is to deliver person- and relationship-centred care. They provide expert guidance, practical solutions, and emotional support, helping families to live well with dementia and navigate the challenges they face.
What We’re Looking For
- Registered Nurse with a valid NMC registration.
- Experience in Dementia Care: Demonstrable experience working with people living with dementia and their families.
- Strong Communication Skills:
Ability to convey complex information sensitively and clearly to patients, families, and healthcare teams.
- Compassionate and Empathetic: A commitment to person-centered care with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those affected by dementia.
- Team Player: Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and contribute to a supportive working environment.
Training and support for this role is provided in conjunction with Dementia UK.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide specialist dementia nursing support to families, working in partnership with them to improve their quality of life.
- Offer psychological support to families and individuals, helping them cope with the emotional impact of dementia.
- Educate and support healthcare professionals, enhancing their skills in dementia care.
- Lead on the development and implementation of care plans that are tailored to individual needs.
- Advocate for families affected by dementia within healthcare settings,
ensuring their voices are heard and needs are met.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We Have Four Primary Goals
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
