Clinton House is a small, family-run nursing home on the outskirts of Larkhall. Established in 1992, we provide nursing and respite care for up to 24 residents.
We follow a whole-home approach to delivering dignified, quality care and believe that everyone on our team contributes to making daily life happy, fulfilling and, most importantly, fun for our residents.
We understand the importance of having a positive, supportive and encouraging working environment where you feel listened to, valued and appreciated for the difference you make every day.
A Unique Opportunity...
We are seeking a Clinical Lead Nurse to work alongside our Home Manager in a role that combines hands-on nursing with dedicated leadership and management responsibilities.
This position has been designed for a nurse who enjoys clinical practice but would like to develop their leadership and management skills within a supportive environment.
Unlike many Clinical Lead roles, protected supernumerary hours are provided each week, allowing you dedicated time to focus on leadership responsibilities, quality assurance, staff development and service improvement.
Previous management or Clinical Lead experience is not essential.
We are looking for someone with the right values, attitude and leadership potential, and we will support the successful candidate to develop their management skills and confidence.
This role is ideal for someone aspiring to become a Deputy Manager, Clinical Manager or Nursing Home Manager in the future.

- 9 hours protected supernumerary Clinical Lead time each week.
- Additional supernumerary hours available as required by the service.

- Clinical Lead hours paid at Clinical Lead rate.
Clinical Lead Responsibilities:
As Clinical Lead, you will support the Home Manager in the day-to-day leadership of the service and act as deputy in their absence.

Final Thought...
This is more than a nursing role.
It is an opportunity to gain hands-on leadership experience, work alongside an experienced management team and develop the skills required for future senior management positions, all while continuing to deliver excellent clinical care.
If you have ever thought, "I'd love to progress, but I need the opportunity to learn," then we would love to hear from you.
