Description du poste

At Octopus, we’re investors and entrepreneurs on a mission to back the people, ideas and industries that will change the world. We believe there’s a brighter way to do business, which is why we’re an accredited B Corp, and why we changed our Articles of Association so that employees, customers, communities, the environment and shareholders all count in every decision we make. Our healthcare fund invests in care homes and retirement villages across the UK.

Job Description

The role

You’ll visit our care homes and retirement villages, see for yourself how they’re run, and turn what you find into clear insight that helps keep clinical, operational and quality standards high across the portfolio. If you’re an experienced social care nurse or practitioner looking for a new challenge, this role builds on what you know and helps you develop specialist skills in risk management, quality assurance and portfolio oversight within a health and social care investment fund.

As our investment in care grows, so does the team’s role in overseeing quality, risk and operational standards. You’ll report to the Clinical Assurance Director and work with colleagues across Octopus Capital, who’ll turn to you for healthcare and regulatory expertise.

Our Values

At our core, we believe that how a company behaves is just as important as what it does. That’s why we chose to become an accredited B Corp (the equivalent of a Fairtrade coffee stamp but for companies) and to change our Articles of Association so that the interests all our stakeholders – employees, customers, communities, environment and shareholders – are considered in every decision we make.

We are committed to building a workplace where diversity is valued, and inclusion is a priority. By providing equal opportunities for growth and development, we embrace and celebrate all races, genders, religions, sexual orientations, ages, disabilities, and socio-economic backgrounds. We believe teams achieve their best when every member feels safe, respected and empowered to be their authentic selves.

We're proud to be disability confident and are committed to supporting candidates with a disability, including neurodiversity and mental health conditions, throughout the recruitment process. Applicants are welcome to opt-in to the disability confident scheme as part of our application process. If you require any adjustments to the interview process, we’ll be happy to accommodate where possible.
