About the role
Are you interested in community nursing?
We’re looking for a Staff Nurse to join our Bristol homes. At Brandon Trust, nursing is about more than clinical skills — it’s about working alongside people so they can live the life they choose.
Our Bristol homes support people with higher and more complex needs, so this role includes more hands‑on support, health monitoring and specialist nursing input. Experience working in care is preferable due to the nature of the role.
The support we offer is shaped around what matters to each person — their choices, routines and goals — whether that’s day‑to‑day support at home, staying well, or spending time out in the community.
What you’ll be doing
Providing specialist nursing support and leading by example
Running shifts and supporting colleagues to deliver safe, person‑centred support
Supporting people with everyday routines, medication and health needs
Helping people build daily living skills and do more of what matters to them
Carrying out nursing procedures in line with agreed guidance
Working closely with families, health professionals and colleagues
Being part of a nursing team focused on good outcomes and lived experience
Shifts & working patterns
Flexible shifts across a 24/7 service
Some homes have early starts from 7am
Waking night shifts are in place in some homes
What we’re looking for
A nursing qualification with current NMC registration (RNLD, RMN or RGN)
A calm and confident approach, even when things are busy
Experience supporting people with learning disabilities (ideal, not essential)
A flexible, curious mindset and openness to learning
Clinical knowledge, or a willingness to build skills with support
What we offer
£60 per sleep‑in shift (where applicable)
Ongoing training and development, including professional qualifications
Contributory pension
DBS check paid for
Rotas planned in advance
Wagestream – track and access pay before payday, plus financial advice
Discounts including Blue Light Card, EE perks and Costco membership
Refer a Friend payments
Wellbeing helplines
Health Cash Plan
