As a Registered Nurse with Rushcliffe Care Group, you will be part of the clinical team responsible for delivering safe, effective, person-centred care. This advert is open to both newly qualified nurses and experienced nurses. The role offered, and rate of pay, will depend on your registration, experience, competence, and suitability for the needs of the service.

You will be joining Rushcliffe Care, a company with over 35 years of experience in offering the highest levels of care to our most vulnerable in society. Across our services, we support people to live safer, more fulfilling lives, with dignity, choice, and consistency at the centre of everything we do.

Our work is guided by clear values. These are not slogans. They shape how we treat people, how we work together, and what we expect from each other.

We employ over 1,300 staff across our network of care homes, independent hospitals, and specialist support services. Our portfolio includes mental health rehabilitation hospitals, nursing and dementia care homes, services for people with learning disabilities, and a neuro‑rehabilitation unit for people recovering from brain injury. We also operate a specialist independent school for children and young people with autism.

Mill Lodge Hospital is a 32 bed hospital providing specialist mental health care services on behalf of the NHS. Our patients range from 18 years through to older age people.

We support all patients with a range of conditions including:

• depression
• mental illnesses such as schizophrenia
• personality disorder
• learning disability
• addictions

We use a ‘recovery’ approach to tailor care to each individual to help them achieve their maximum potential.

We value all contribution and support that family and carers provide. We feel it is essential, with a patient’s agreement, to include carers throughout the recovery pathway, for example when planning care and conducting risk assessments.

As a Registered Nurse, you will support the delivery of high‑quality clinical care within a structured and person‑centred environment. You will work as part of the nursing and multidisciplinary team, supporting service users with their physical health, mental health, behavioural needs, clinical care and daily wellbeing.

For newly qualified nurses, the role will include support through preceptorship, with supervision from an experienced nurse preceptor while you develop confidence, clinical competence and leadership skills.

For experienced nurses, the role will include a greater focus on shift leadership, clinical decision‑making, staff support, audits, observations of practice and contributing to effective care governance within the service.
