About You

As a Charge Nurse at HC‐One, you will be overseeing the care of every resident in your area of the care home. You'll even run the whole home when the Home Manager and Deputy Home Manager are absent. You will be responsible for following up on any resident visits related to ill health, administering prescribed medicines, and keeping records to meet statutory legal requirements, always keeping resident wellbeing above all else.

You will be a Registered Nurse with at least 12 months experience in Health or Social Care, a valid PIN number, and 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 colleagues, 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 and you must be able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in associated areas. You should also be able to seek appropriate advice, report concerns, and include escalation procedures.
