Location: Newton Abbot & surrounding areas
Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week
Contract: Permanent
Salary: £40,000 - £48,000 per year
Requirements: Full UK Driving Licence & Enhanced DBS
About the Role
We are recruiting on behalf of a highly respected care organisation for an experienced Complex Care Nurse to join their clinical team. This is a varied and rewarding position combining clinical education, assessment, and leadership, supporting carers to deliver high-quality complex care to adults and children in the community.
This role would suit a confident and compassionate Registered Nurse who enjoys teaching, developing others, and working autonomously while playing a key role in improving the quality of care.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead, develop and deliver clinical training (including in-person and e-learning sessions).
* Support safe, person-centred assessments and care planning alongside Care Team Managers.
* Assess and manage clinical risk in line with best practice and evidence-based care.
* Provide flexible clinical support to service users and care teams, including competency assessments and set-up of new care packages.
* Where required, directly deliver specialist complex care to adults and children.
* Participate in an on-call telephone rota.
* Lead or contribute to quality improvement projects across the service.
* Promote self-advocacy and act as an advocate for service users and their families.
About You
Essential:
* Registered Nurse (NMC) with a minimum of 2 years’ post-qualifying experience.
* Broad clinical knowledge and the ability to make confident, safe decisions.
* Experience supporting individuals with disabilities or additional health needs.
* Ability to work flexibly and travel within the service area.
* Strong interest in training, education, and developing others.
Desirable:
* Experience working with children and families, with knowledge of child development.
You’ll thrive in this role if you are proactive, organised, and passionate about continuous learning—both for yourself and others. This role will not suit someone who prefers not to work autonomously or who is uncomfortable supporting junior staff.
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to influence clinical practice, enhance care quality, and make a genuine impact in the community. You will join a supportive and values-driven organisation that genuinely prioritises compassion, teamwork and excellence
