Job description

About The Role

• What was it that made you decide to become a nurse?
• Did you want to provide Kind Care and make a difference to people in need?
• Was it your love of learning, and the opportunity to work closely with multi‑professional teams in a field that is constantly evolving?

Whatever your reason, at HC One, the Kind Care Company, we can offer you a career where your kindness will be truly rewarded. Whether you are at the start of your exciting career journey, or have years of experience as a registered nurse, working within a care home environment can be incredibly rewarding. It embodies the practice of nursing, all while building meaningful, long‑lasting relationships with Residents and their loved ones.

We are looking for kind nurses to join our dedicated care home teams across the country, offering enhanced rates of pay that progress with your experience alongside a wide range of attractive company benefits.

About You

As a Clinical Unit Manager at HC One, you’ll value one thing above all: Kindness. It carries across every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

In this role you will take responsibility for a specific part of the home and deliver the very best level of care. You will run the entire place when the Home Manager and Deputy Home Manager are absent. Consequently, you will always keep resident dignity and wellbeing in mind above all, whether you’re reporting a resident’s mobility issues, requesting a sample for monitoring or administering a medicine.

You will be a Registered Nurse with a valid NMC PIN and will understand your commitment to your profession through the standards of practice set by the NMC. You will be passionate about mentoring and sharing your knowledge with colleagues, and you will support practice as a supervisor and assessor to students. Effective communication, both verbal and written, and role‑modeling professional behaviours are essential. You will advocate and deliver a person‑centred approach to care for the people living in our care home and their families.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You must recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You should be able to seek appropriate advice, report concerns, and, if action is not taken, report or escalated to the appropriate authority.

About The Company

At HC‑One, our purpose is to support those in our care to lead their best lives. As the Kind Care Company, it is our mission to provide the kindest support and care to Residents living in our care homes, and to be the first‑choice care provider for Families, our Colleagues and Commissioners in each of the communities that we serve.

We are passionate about ensuring that our current and future Colleagues can be their true selves, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve. We prioritise inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds into our HC‑One family.

We have a dedicated and professional workforce that strives to always deliver outstanding nursing care. We care about our talented teams and support them in their professional and personal growth. We are committed to developing people that work for us through robust career pathways, CPD and postgraduate programmes.

At HC‑One, we ensure that your career is fulfilling and varied so that you feel empowered in your practice and delivery of evidence‑based Kind Care. We are a diverse and inclusive company and we focus on learning from and with each other.
