Assistant Director of Nursing

Akeso Healthsearch is a specialist nursing and healthcare recruitment agency that connects skilled professionals with some of Ireland's leading public and private hospitals, semi-acute facilities, nursing homes, homecare services and community-based practice settings.

We are currently seeking an experienced Assistant Director of Nursing to join a well-established nursing home located in Wicklow . This is an excellent opportunity for a compassionate and driven nursing professional who is either based in Wicklow or open to relocating.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

As the Assistant Director of Nursing, you will play a key leadership role in delivering high-quality care and creating a supportive and person-centred environment for residents. This is more than a clinical position - it's a chance to lead with purpose and positively impact the lives of those in your care.

Registered General Nurse with active registration on the NMBI

Minimum of 2 years' experience in a management role within a nursing home

At least 6 years of experience working in a nursing home setting

Leadership or management qualification

Full eligibility to work in Ireland

Excellent leadership, organisational and communication skills, with a strong focus on team development and quality care delivery

Your Role and Responsibilities:

Ensure the delivery of high-quality nursing and social care tailored to meet individual resident needs

Oversee clinical standards, complete assessments and manage care plans to support optimal outcomes

Supervise medication administration, conduct audits and liaise with GPs and pharmacies to maintain high standards and compliance

Provide leadership and mentorship to CNMs, nurses and healthcare assistants, supporting continuous training and development

Conduct regular clinical, environmental and medication audits and implement actions to promote hygiene, safety and quality of care

Serve as a key point of contact for residents and families, addressing concerns with empathy and working closely with the multidisciplinary team to enhance the overall resident experience

Take the Next Step in Your Career:

If you're an experienced and compassionate nurse leader ready to take on a rewarding challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
