About the Employer

Indigo Healthcare is working in partnership with an established specialist nursing provider to appoint a Unit Manager for a large service in the Shipley area. This is a role suited to an experienced qualified nurse who enjoys being visible on the floor, leading a team and remaining hands-on with care. The service provides specialist 24/7 support to young adults with complex physical and neurological conditions and has a strong clinical focus, including palliative care.

The Opportunity

You will take day-to-day responsibility for leading your unit, supporting the team and ensuring consistently high standards of clinical care. The role operates on a 50/50 supernumerary basis, giving you a genuine balance between leadership and hands-on nursing. You'll spend part of your time supervising and supporting the team, while remaining directly involved in the delivery of care. This isn't a role where you'll be managing from the office.

• Providing visible clinical leadership and support across the unit
• Overseeing complex care needs including epilepsy, tracheostomy care and spasticity management
• Supporting person-centred care plans around individual residents' needs and goals
• Maintaining CQC compliance and internal quality standards
• Acting as a point of escalation and support for the care team
• Working closely with families, visiting professionals and the wider multidisciplinary team

About You

You'll be a qualified nurse who is confident leading a team within a nursing or complex care environment and comfortable remaining hands-on. You'll likely have:

• RGN, RMN or RNLD qualification with an active NMC PIN
• Experience leading a team within a nursing or care setting
• A confident and practical approach to clinical leadership
• Experience of complex physical or neurological care would be advantageous
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A genuine commitment to person-centred care
