About the Role

As a Regional Clinical Development Nurse at Barchester, you’ll lead, support and continuously improve the clinical governance and quality of care for residents in nine of our care homes in the areas of Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Northampton, Gosmore, Melbourn and St Peter in Jersey.

You’ll be expected to support the performance of each home ensuring it performs to the highest clinical standards.

Working closely with the Regional Director, improvement specialists and senior clinical staff in each home, you’ll support the continual improvement of standards and help implement key actions to address any issues which arise. Whether you’re organising new training, helping attract key senior clinical staff, or delivering clinical investigations, your leadership skills and passion for delivering the best will make a real difference to the residents in our care.

Due to the regional nature of this role a willingness for regular travel is essential.

An experienced nurse, you’ll have worked in a care home environment and are a confident clinical mentor, including with newly-qualified nurses. Your leadership skills, sharp analytical mind and the ability to share knowledge, build relationships, and deliver on your action plans enables you to deliver impressive results.
