1. PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
Unicares complex care division delivers nursing interventions in peoples own homes under the regulated activity of Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury. The people we support depend on that care being clinically correct every time: a tracheostomy mismanaged, a ventilator alarm misread or a rescue medication given late has immediate and irreversible consequences.
The Head of Nursing holds professional and clinical accountability for that practice. The postholder sets the clinical governance framework for the division, owns the competency and delegation architecture on which safe delivery depends, assures that clinical standards are met in every package, and provides the professional line for the registered nurses delivering it. The post reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer so that clinical objection to a commercially attractive package is heard at the level where the decision is made.
This is not an operational management post. The authority of the role is professional, not managerial, and rests on clinical credibility, evidence and the direct line to the Chief Executive.
2. ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT

A substantial part of the divisions registered nursing capacity is engaged through contracts for services rather than employment. The clinical governance framework must therefore hold consistent standards across a workforce that is not uniformly employed a defining challenge of this post and a point on which CQC will test us.
