Admiral Nurse Chinese Communities
We are looking for an Admiral Nurse to join our growing Health Inequalities team to provide specialist clinical advice and support for the Chinese communities nationally for those affected by dementia. Research shows that people from these backgrounds often face disparities in dementia awareness, diagnosis and access to care. In addition to providing specialist dementia support to families, you will help to make dementia care more inclusive and culturally aware.
This is an exciting new opportunity where you will expand on the early work started by our existing Chinese Communities Admiral Nurse. In this role you will develop and deliver the Admiral Nurse service to support the Chinese communities, as well as delivering the Chinese Admiral Nurse Dementia Clinics in partnership with the Chinese Welfare Trust. The Admiral Nurse service is available to families via telephone, video consultation, and/or face-to-face within remote clinic settings, where you will also provide specialist advice, best practice and support to colleagues and health care professionals.
To find out what's it's like to work at Dementia UK in the Health Inequalities team, hear from our own Dementia UK Admiral Nurse here.
The community you will support will often be from Chinese ethnic backgrounds, including people with heritage from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. Many individuals may speak Mandarin, Cantonese, or other Chinese dialects, and English may not be their first language.
We are looking for you to be a Registered Nurse with a post-registration qualification or training in dementia care or a related field, you will have a knowledge and understanding of the cultural needs and challenges faced by these communities and demonstrate proven experience in working with individuals and families from this community and/or other groups experiencing health inequalities.
This is a truly exciting and varied role where your expertise will really support those in need within these communities. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
We would love to hear from you! If you would like to find out more about the role, or have any queries, please get in touch with [email protected]
