New male-only unit opening at Eastlands, bringing 20 jobs to Sutton-in-Ashfield

Our Eastlands home in Sutton-in-Ashfield is opening a new, fully refurbished unit in early 2021. The unit will bring 20 new jobs to the area for Health Care Assistants, Senior Carers and Nurses.

Eastlands care home supports adults living with a range of complex and high acuity needs. The new male-only ‘Robins’ unit will open in early 2021, and will support up to 10 adults living with complex mental health needs and challenging behaviour. 

The layout of the unit promotes small group living, in a welcoming and supportive environment, and does not have the traditional ‘nursing home’ feel. It has communal dining and living space, including a quiet corner, TV lounge, dedicated activities room and sensory garden, which promotes a homely and friendly feel.

Over the next few months, we’re looking for up to 20 Health Care Assistants, Senior Carers and Nurses to join the team on the unit. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone who wants to play a vital role in shaping the culture and contributing to the success of the new unit.

As a Nurse at Eastlands, you’ll work with like-minded colleagues, as part of a multi-disciplinary in-house team, to provide the highest standards of nursing care for our residents. Our Nursing/Health Care Assistant ratio is amongst some of the best in the UK, with this home’s average ratio being six Health Care Assistants to every Nurse.

Our approach to nursing focuses on maximising independence, building everyday living skills and empowering people to live as fulfilled lives as possible, which means that you’ll be delivering truly person-centred and holistic care in a community-based home.

Our Nurse roles offer flexible shifts and stable employment, with full training and support, as well as:

• excellent career development opportunities
