  Registered Nurse with at least three years' post-registration experience, demonstrating competence in nursing practice and experience working with older people across acute, community or residential care settings.
• Leadership & Team Collaboration
  
  Proven ability to motivate, mentor and guide staff and students, fostering teamwork and maintaining high standards of care within multidisciplinary environments.
• Communication & Problem-Solving Skills
  
  Strong written and verbal communication, conflict resolution and negotiation skills, with the ability to assess complex situations, formulate effective solutions and manage workload demands independently.
