Our dedicated teams transform care into a calling, delivering excellence with compassion, integrity, and respect.

In 2024, we were honoured to be named Health Investor’s Residential Elderly Large Care Provider of the Year, a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation.

For eight consecutive years, we’ve been recognised among the Top 20 Large UK Care Home Groups by carehome.co.uk, reflecting consistently high standards and resident satisfaction. We are also proud to be a Real Living Wage employer, ensuring that the dedication of our team members is valued and fairly rewarded.

If you're passionate about delivering exceptional care and want to be part of a forward-thinking organisation that puts both its residents and people at the heart of everything it does, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

As a Clinical Deputy, you will work closely with the Home Manager, nurses, and carers to ensure the highest standards of clinical care and governance across the home. You will combine hands-on clinical delivery with leadership duties, helping to maintain a safe, person-centred care environment. You’ll also support staff development, oversee clinical compliance, and contribute to operational management. This is a senior role for an experienced, capable nurse ready to lead with confidence and care.

You may occasionally support other homes in the local area, so a full driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
