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?

From our roots in social housing, Linc Care operates across South Wales and provides homes and services to older and vulnerable people in the not-for-profit sector. We have adopted the ‘Eden Alternative’ approach to care, and place the individual at the heart of our care philosophy.

"...it is clear from our inspection reports this home is an example of best practice in the way it delivers care to everyone as an individual.” - Chief Inspector of Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW), Imelda Richardson on a recent visit to Penylan House with Health and Social Services Minister, Mark Drakeford.

Our nurses are identified as being critical in ensuring that the highest standards of care delivery are achieved. We recognise the importance of 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 Nursing 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 Care Assistants, our nurses lead by example on a daily basis to support approximately 15 elders within an assigned ‘community’. Taking responsibility and acting as ‘named nurse’ 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.

Our Nursing Homes operate a fixed, rolling 2 week rota allowing staff to enjoy their work and their home life with every other weekend off. We also have a position for a peripatetic Nurse who will work 38.5 hours per week but will not be assigned a set shift pattern. Shifts worked will be to cover training, annual leave and sickness.

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.

There couldn't be a better time to join Linc!
