Job Details

ABOUT THE ROLE
As Head of Unit at a Barchester care home, you'll use your compassion and initiative to make sure our residents get the quality care they deserve. Managing a nurse-led team, you'll provide exceptional care for those living with traumatic and non-traumatic brain or spinal injuries, as well as support for those with long-term neurological conditions and young physically disabled residents. We'll look to you to plan, manage and monitor the delivery of the highest quality nursing that makes a huge difference to our residents day-to-day lives. As part of your wide range of responsibilities, you'll plan rotas, recruit, train and mentor staff and build strong relationships with local regulators and social services. As Head of Unit, you'll have the freedom and autonomy to take your unit from strength to strength, with plenty of opportunities for professional development along the way.

ABOUT YOU
To join us as a Head of Unit, you'll be a Registered Nurse (RMN) with a current NMC registration and a passion for the field of neurology. Experience with either neurological or respiratory conditions is important, but for those who share our passion for helping residents, their family and friends through a challenging time, and providing exceptional clinical care in this fascinating field, training could be provided. You'll be a natural leader who has acted as a clinical mentor, including supporting newly qualified nurses through their preceptorship. Dedicated, ambitious and resilient, you'll have a strong track record of delivering improvements to achieve quality care.

REWARDS PACKAGE
As well as a competitive salary, Barchester offers one of the best rewards packages in the care sector. Your generous benefits would include:

* Free learning and development
* Automatic enrolment into our profit share scheme
* Access to childcare vouchers
* A range of holiday, retail and leisure discounts
* Nurse Mentor and Refer a Friend bonus schemes
* Offer to pay Tier 2 visa application fee for eligible nurses

If you'd like to use your clinical and people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care you'd expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding and empowering place to be.
