As a Clinical Lead, you’ll be part of the management team that sets the tone for delivering the highest standards of care in compliance with the NMC code of conduct.

**About the role**

This is a role where you will be involved in everything from the training and development of yourself and your staff, to marketing the home to new residents and new staff. You’ll be responsible for maintaining detailed and accurate care records. You’ll be ordering and storing all medication safely. And you’ll be a point of contact for residents and their families. Representing your home with pride and passion. This is a role where health & safety management is core. And where your leadership skills will develop further. You’ll be up to date with current evidence-based practice and have a working knowledge of CQC Standards and Regulations and will work using your initiative making effective decisions to improve care quality. You will always strive to provide great quality holistic care, making every day better than the last. And you’ll be an ambassador of our values and striving to help every resident maintain the independence they seek and the dignity they deserve.

**The skills you’ll need**

You’re a registered nurse RGN or RMN with excellent clinical skills and a valid NMC pin. You’re currently working as a Senior Nurse/Unit Manager or Deputy Manager/Clinical Level with experience of complex care. NVQ Level 5 is desirable, but not essential. You’re a good manager - confident in leading a team and helping them make the most of every day. You’re multi-skilled - you’ll be involved in everything from planning to training, marketing to financial reporting. You’re a good listener - understanding what matters to your residents, their families, and your team. You’re a good learner - taking on the challenges of training your team and yourself. You’re ambitious - you want the best for your home and the best for your people. And your ambition for career success will come through the qualities above.

**Above and beyond**

If you share a passion for going above and beyond for people who need a bit of extra care and a team that needs clear and confident management, your future career in care could accelerate here. The Clinical Lead role is challenging and ever-changing. But through this, you’ll discover a career that’s incredibly rewarding. You’ll go above and beyond every day to make sure every resident can live their life to the full, as independently as possible. And we’ll go above and beyond for you.
