Our multi-award-winning team provides the highest standards of care and comfort to support our residents’ health and wellbeing.

If you have completed a return to practice course or are newly qualified, we can offer you a preceptorship programme fully accredited by the Royal College of Nursing. As you go forward, you have a unique opportunity - thanks to our Clinical Managers and Clinical Trainer - to refresh and gain new skills and to pursue further study and career opportunities.

As nurses we all agree to be lifelong learners, because we want to continue to practice safely and effectively using the most up to date evidence based knowledge to provide excellent care. Preceptorship will support you as part of your learning journey by helping you enhance and grow your nursing skills and knowledge. Preceptorship can be seen as the transition to build your confidence, continue your development and achieve your competency to practice. We can support you to be a safe, autonomous, accountable practitioner.
