Are you looking for a nursing role where you can make a real difference and contribute to the highest standards of care delivery in the not-for-profit sector?

Penylan House has a history of delivering excellent care to the local community since 1955. We are delighted to announce the completion of Phase 2 of Penylan House and the addition of a further 43 bedrooms. Penylan House has been providing residential, nursing, dementia and convalescence care for more than 50 years. The fully redeveloped modern, purpose-built Nursing Home now has 75 single, ensuite bedrooms and there couldn’t be a more exciting time to join us. We have adopted the ‘Eden Alternative’ approach to care, and place the individual at the heart of our care philosophy.

Our nurses are identified as being critical in ensuring that the highest standards of care delivery are achieved. We recognise the importance of the Continuous Professional Development for our Nurses with all benefiting from a full, tailored induction programme alongside significant opportunities to learn, develop and enhance more specialist clinical and management skills.

Our homes have dedicated and experienced clinical leads to mentor, motivate and engage with our nursing team so that best practice in nursing care is embedded in everything that we do. Working alongside a well trained staff team of 4 Care Assistants, our nurses lead by example on a daily basis to support up to 15 elders within an assigned ‘community’. Taking responsibility and acting as ‘named nurse’ for up to 15 elders gives our nurses the opportunity to build effective professional relationships, and ensure that the care we deliver always meets the changing circumstances and personal wishes of each individual. With a staffing ratio of 3 elders per member of staff, you can be assured that you have the time and space to ensure you deliver person-centred care every day.

Despite being in the not-for-profit sector, Linc’s aim is to operate with commercial awareness and return any profits for the good of the services it operates, the people who use those services, or the wider community. If you feel you have a social heart then there couldn’t be a better time to join Linc.

If you would like an informal chat about nursing with Linc or would like to arrange an informal look around the home, please give Sam a call on 02920 474 715. We look forward to hearing from you.
