Are you looking for an alternative nursing job?

When most people think of a Nurse, they picture a Nurse on a hospital ward.

Did you do it too? There are lots of alternative nursing jobs available, so, if you’re considering a different path you’ve come to the right place!

Nursing in the social care sector

Due to common misconceptions, a career in the social care sector for a Nurse is often seen as undesirable.

‘Just handing out medication’, ‘becoming deskilled’ and ‘a boring place to work’ are all stereotypes that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Careers in social care nursing, and in particular with Exemplar Health Care, offer the chance to develop your nursing skills in an autonomous, supportive environment.

At Exemplar Health Care, we don’t just focus on physical and mental health. We support people’s emotional, sexual, social and spiritual needs too, to give them holistic care in their day-to-day lives. Therefore, our Nurses are all highly skilled.

The people we support are individuals – and we embrace that. Our first company value is fun, meaning you’ll support people of all ages, with different interests to do whatever they choose, all whilst having fun!

Going on holiday, to college, or to the local shops, our range of activities ensure no two days are ever the same.
