About You

In your role as a Clinical Lead at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our dementia, nursing, residential and specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. And, by joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people. As a Clinical Lead, you will be responsible for ensuring that the level of clinical care we offer goes beyond just professional standards and statutory, regulatory and legal requirements. It will mean providing specialist nursing support and advice, taking responsibility for resident care in the Home Manager’s absence and supervising or coaching colleagues to provide a service that’s unparalleled in its empathy for resident issues. You will be a registered nurse with a valid Pin number and will understand your commitment to your profession through the standards of practice set by the NMC. You will have a passion to mentor and share your knowledge with your colleagues, along with providing support as a practice supervisor and assessor to students. You will understand the importance of effective communication, both verbally and written, and role‑model professional behaviours. You will advocate and deliver a person‑centred approach to care for the people living in our care home and their families. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Therefore you should be able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice, report concerns and, if action is not taken, to escalate appropriately.
