Working closely with the Regional Director, improvement specialists and senior clinical staff in each home, you’ll support the continual improvement of standards and help implement key actions to address any issues which arise. Whether you’re organising new training, helping attract key senior clinical staff, or delivering clinical investigations, your leadership skills and passion for delivering the best will make a real difference to the residents in our care.

Due to the regional nature of this role, a willingness for regular travel is essential.

You must also provide evidence of continued professional development and have a strong understanding of current regulatory requirements. An experienced nurse, you’ll have worked in a care home environment and are a confident clinical mentor, including with newly‑qualified nurses. Your leadership skills, sharp analytical mind and the ability to share knowledge, build relationships, and deliver on your action plans enables you to deliver impressive results.
