Are you looking for an alternative nursing job?

When most people picture a Nurse, they imagine someone working on a busy hospital ward. Did you?

The truth is, nursing goes far beyond hospital walls. There are countless career paths available, so if you’re considering something different, you’re in the right place.

Nursing in the social care sector

Social care nursing is often misunderstood. Too many people assume it means “just handing out medication,” “becoming deskilled,” or “working in a dull environment.”

Nothing could be further from the truth.

At Exemplar Health Care, our Nurses develop a broad range of skills while working in a supportive, autonomous setting.

We don’t just focus on physical or mental health – we look after people’s emotional, social, sexual, and spiritual wellbeing, too. That’s what holistic care means.

And because the people we support are individuals, no two days are the same. From holidays and college trips to afternoons out shopping, our first company value, fun, ensures that our Nurses and residents alike live life to the fullest.

Nursing roles in our homes

Our homes offer excellent career paths, whether you’re a Newly Qualified Nurse, or a Senior Nurse looking for a managerial role.
