Be the nurse who turns “good intentions” into safe, auditable practice

Delegated healthcare assurance (non-registered staff)

• Support services to implement delegated healthcare safely and consistently
• Strengthen documentation and evidence (e.g.,protocols, review dates, monitoring and escalation instructions)

• Support services to maintain accurate, auditable competency records and refresher plans
• Work with Learning & Development to align training records and inspection evidence

Audit, improvement & inspection readiness

• Coach teams to improve day‑to‑day governance and practice
• Help ensure services are ready to evidence compliance for CQC/CIW/Ofsted

Clinical supervision compliance (operational nurses)

• Support monitoring of supervision completion and quality
• Escalate concerns through agreed governance routes and support recovery plans

Who we’re looking for

• Registered Nurse (Adult / LD / MH) with active NMC PIN
• Post-registration experience in community, social care and/or complex needs settings
• Strong understanding of delegation, competency-based assessment and risk management
• Confident producing clear audit reports and constructively challenging to improve practice
• Organised, resilient and comfortable managing a varied UK-wide workload
• Willing to travel regularly across England and Wales (including overnight stays)
• Enhanced DBS (or willingness to undertake)
