Clinical Lead
Recruitment Panda Ltd - Leicester, Leicestershire
£40,000 to £45,000 a year
On-sitePermanentFull time
Clinical Lead (RGN/RMN), Leicester | £40,000-£45,000 Most clinical leads inherit someone else's system. You get to build yours. Think about the last time you joined a home. The care plans were already written, the habits already set, and half your first year went on undoing things. This one's different. This Leicester home is registering for nursing, which means its clinical standards are being set right now, by whoever takes this job. You'll sit alongside a new Registered Manager as their clinical right hand, shaping care planning, clinical governance, supervision and training from the ground up. You'll do about one 12-hour clinical shift a week; the rest is leadership. It suits a nurse who's ready to step off the treadmill and into influence: someone who enjoys teaching as much as doing, and who would rather set the bar than chase it. You'll bring: An active NMC PIN. Solid nursing home or complex care experience. The confidence to lead other nurses and carers. Working towards a Level 5 in Leadership and Management? Great; it's encouraged here. You'll get: £40,000-£45,000, a real leadership role in a group that invests, and something few nurses can say: "I built that service." Curious? Call me, Tim Roby at Recruitment Panda, or apply with a CV even if it's not up to date. Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.
