About Exemplar Health Care

Otterburn is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers. We support adults living with dementia, complex mental health needs and neuro-disabilities including Huntington’s disease and strokes.

A nurse-led care home for adults with complex needs, Otterburn aims to make every day better for residents. Identifying achievable goals with residents, their families and professionals ensures they retain some form of independence.

We are looking for experienced tracheostomy trained nurses or nurses who are willing to be trained and signed off as competent to work on the Tracheostomy Unit. You will lead by example, delivering hands-on nursing care. You will have a person-centred ethos and be committed to enriching the lives of the individuals in your care.

About the role

As a Unit Manager with Exemplar Health Care, you’ll be at the forefront of clinical care delivery for the people living on your designated unit. No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

1. Leading your unit’s care and nursing teams to ensure we meet the medical, physical and emotional needs of the people we support.
2. Providing strong leadership to maintain and continuously develop high standards of care and drive continuous improvement.

3. An enthusiastic approach to encouraging and motivating people.
4. The ability to work confidently on your own initiative.
5. A good standard of digital skills.
