Band 5 Nurse - Elderly Medicine

Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Registered Nurses to join the Care of the Elderly team at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, across our dedicated older people s wards. These wards provide compassionate care for patients with complex medical, rehabilitation, and discharge needs. Nurses support older adults with acute and long-term conditions, focusing on holistic assessment, maintaining independence, and delivering person-centred care. Working closely with the multidisciplinary team, they play a key role in geriatric assessment, rehabilitation, and safe, timely discharge planning.

These wards offer a rewarding environment to develop expertise in frailty, rehabilitation, complex care management, and dementia care, making a meaningful difference to older patients and their families. We are seeking compassionate, motivated nurses committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care in a rehabilitation setting. The role requires strong professional values, flexibility and the ability to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team to support patients in achieving their rehabilitation goals.
