This is a highly visible, hands-on role focused on strengthening clinical practice, supporting nurses and carers, and embedding a culture of excellence throughout the home.

Supporting and coaching nursing staff to improve clinical competence and confidence
Driving improvements in care planning, documentation, and clinical governance
Monitoring and improving medication management practices
Supporting the home to achieve and maintain high standards of resident care
Identifying areas for clinical improvement and implementing practical solutions
Conducting audits and quality checks to ensure compliance and best practice
Supporting the Home Manager with action plans and quality improvement initiatives
Promoting a positive culture focused on resident wellbeing, dignity, and person-centred care
Leading by example and helping to create a strong clinical team environment

Why Join? This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced nurse leader who enjoys being at the heart of clinical care. Rather than focusing solely on management, you'll be working directly with the nursing team to raise standards, improve practice, and deliver better outcomes for residents. If you're passionate about quality care and leading from the front, we'd love to hear from you.
