Job description

Admiral Nursing

£22,683.94 to £25,204.50 per annum plus car allowance

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 (Midlands - Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derby), 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 Midlands.

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 in the community 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.

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.
