Join us as our new Clinical Nurse Assessment Specialist here at Exemplar Health Care.

Reporting to the Senior Clinical Assessment Specialist, you’ll work flexibly, as part of a highly motivated Clinical Assessment Team, supporting our specialist care homes to respond to an ever‑growing number of service user referrals.

We have an exciting and ambitious growth plan that aims to greatly expand our portfolio of homes over the coming years. We are therefore looking to further enhance our established function with the addition of this role. You will need to demonstrate passion, commitment and determination to ensure every referral to the organisation is managed to the highest standard and our customers receive an exemplary experience.

About Exemplar Health Care

Exemplar Health Care is one of the country’s leading nursing care providers for adults living with complex needs. We have over 55 care homes across England that support adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro‑disabilities and physical disabilities. As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress. Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs. That insight shaped the mission we still live by today – to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most. We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro‑disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities.

About the role

No two days will ever be the same, but your day‑to‑day responsibilities will include:

Support our care homes to complete clinical pre‑admission assessments, working closely alongside our operational and clinical colleagues. This involves flexibility to travel to different care settings nationwide within the allocated working day.

Produce individual cost per care assessments that clearly demonstrate the specialist care package being proposed and the justification for the specific interventions and costs. This will be completed during working hours, either at the office or remotely from home.

Coach Clinical Nurse Managers and Home Managers in the assessment and costing process and be involved in delivering training.

Support the processing of referrals received into the organisation, as requested by the Senior Clinical Assessment Specialist, working in conjunction with the Referrals and Occupancy Management Team.

Uphold the company vision and drive the Exemplar Health Care strategy.

Where required, support our homes with the reassessment of existing service users.

Build relationships and opportunities with new and potential referrers.

Attend conferences, events and networks to build relationships and raise Exemplar Health Care’s profile where required.
