This is an exciting opportunity to use your nursing leadership skills to make a real difference every day, in a brand new home!

Join us as our new Dementia Specialist Night Manager at Springfield Vale care home in Barnsley.

Springfield Vale is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country's leading nursing care providers for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

When open, Springfield Vale will provide nursing care for adults living with complex needs arising from dementia.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

We’re proud to work alongside the University of Stirling to design a purpose-built home with dementia friendly spaces.

The University of Stirling has a distinct reputation in the field of dementia and ageing. Their international centre for knowledge exchange – the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) – is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of dementia design.

At Springfield Vale, we’re implementing their evidence-based environmental design principles to offer a non-pharmacological approach to support responsive behaviours associated with dementia.

Springfield Vale will offer a caring environment where people receive the support they need, close to their loved ones.

The home will feature 33 en-suite bedrooms, across three units. With this small group living, we’re able to provide a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to individual needs.

Springfield Vale's 3 week bespoke induction will begin on the 12th of January 2026.

As a Night Nurse Manager with Exemplar Health Care you’ll be at the forefront of clinical care delivery for the people living at Springfield Vale.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• leading your home’s care and nursing teams to ensure we meet the medical, physical and emotional needs of the people we support
• providing strong leadership to maintain and continuously develop high standards of care and drive continuous improvement
• overseeing and managing all your unit’s clinical elements and risks
• ensuring care plans and risk assessments are completed and reviewed in a timely manner and reflect care interventions appropriately
• acting as the Named Nurse for residents allocated to you, with responsibility for the oversight, review and update of their care profiles
• the supervision and management of your unit’s ordering, handling, storage, administration, recording and disposal of medication

To apply for this role, you must have a first-level nursing registration with a valid Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) PIN. We’re looking experienced Nurses from all backgrounds, Adult, Mental Health and Learning Disability Nurses / RGN, RMN, RNLD.

Please note, this role is not eligible for sponsorship. Candidates without an existing visa or right to work in the UK are unlikely to be suitable for the post.

Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs.

That insight shaped the mission we still live by today – to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most.

We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro-disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities.

Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better for the people we support.

Happy, healthy colleagues mean better care for those we support. We offer a range of initiatives to ensure our colleagues thrive in safe and supportive environments.

From paid RCNi Learning access and NMC PIN payments for nurses to lifestyle and retail discounts for everyone, our rewards ensure your career is as fulfilling as it is rewarding.

From care homes to central support services, everyone plays a vital role. Hear from colleagues across various roles about what it’s like to work with us.
