We're looking for an experienced RGN or RMN to join a well-established, Good CQC-rated care home as Clinical Lead Nurse. Providing residential, nursing and dementia care for older adults, the home combines person-centred care with strong clinical oversight and an experienced management team.

You'll work closely with the Home Manager to oversee clinical practice, support the nursing team and ensure residents receive safe, responsive and individualised care. This isn't purely an office-based leadership position – you'll remain hands-on within the home, providing clinical guidance and leading by example.

• Salary up to £48,600 per year

• 36 hours per week

• Alternate weekend working

• Comprehensive induction programme

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Company pension scheme

• Benefits portal with access to a range of discounts

• Onsite parking

• Staff recognition schemes

• Company events and incentives

• Opportunity to further develop your clinical leadership career

• Supportive management team within a Good CQC-rated service

Your Role as Clinical Lead

• Lead and oversee clinical care delivery across the service.

• Provide hands-on nursing care and clinical guidance when required.

• Supervise, mentor and support nurses and care colleagues.

• Review care plans, risk assessments and clinical documentation to ensure they remain accurate and person-centred.

• Monitor medication practices and promote safe medicines management.

• Support residents with complex nursing and dementia care needs.

• Identify changes in residents' health and ensure appropriate action is taken.

• Complete clinical audits and use findings to drive improvements.

• Maintain excellent standards of safeguarding, infection prevention and clinical governance.

• Support regulatory compliance and preparation for CQC inspections.

• Work closely with the Home Manager to monitor clinical performance and quality.

• Liaise effectively with GPs, families and other healthcare professionals.

• Promote residents' dignity, independence, wellbeing and individual choices.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements, including satisfactory references, an enhanced DBS check, verification of the right to work in the UK, NMC registration checks and any other pre-employment checks required for the role.
