Job Purpose

As the clinical lead you will lead the clinical team within the nursing home, ensuring the delivery of exceptional, person-centred care to all residents.

1. Resident Care & Clinical Excellence

Person-centred care: Oversee the creation, implementation, and regular review of detailed, resident-focused care plans.
Clinical oversight: Manage complex care needs, including tissue viability, wound care, nutrition, hydration, and end-of-life (palliative) care.
Dementia care: Ensure best-practice interventions are used for residents living with dementia or cognitive decline.
Medication management: Supervise the safe storage, administration, and auditing of all medicines and controlled drugs.
GP & family liaison: Lead communication with visiting GPs, social workers, speech therapists, and residents' families

Shift leadership: Set clear daily priorities for the nursing and care team, ensuring safe staffing ratios and skill mixes.
Supervision & appraisal: Conduct regular clinical supervisions, competencies checks, and annual performance reviews for staff.
Mentorship: Support newly recruited nurses and care assistants through their induction and preceptorship programmes.
Absence cover: Take charge of the home's clinical operations in the absence of the Home Manager.

3. Governance, Auditing & Compliance

Regulatory standards: Ensure the home meets or exceeds all regulatory standards (e.g., CQC "Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led" domains).
Clinical audits: Conduct regular audits on falls, weight loss, pressure ulcers, infection control, and care documentation.
Risk management: Assess and mitigate clinical risks, ensuring all safeguarding incidents are reported instantly to local authorities.
Incident investigation: Review accidents or near-misses on shifts, implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence
