About the Role

As a Charge Nurse at a Barchester Care Centre, you will use your compassion and experience to make sure our teams are delivering the quality care we are known for. We will look to you to provide clinical leadership to everyone from junior nurses to clinical practitioners. You will set an example by building meaningful relationships with our patients living with conditions such as dementia and brain injuries which cause a range of complex behaviours.
You'll assess each patient's physical, psychological and social needs and collaborate with their families to create care plans, as well as evaluate them against their changing needs. Day‑to‑day, we will also rely on you to allocate key workers to patients, orientate new staff and mentor them to the highest standards of care. You can also expect to support our senior clinical staff and assist with investigations or complaints – just one of the ways you will make sure we are always treating our patients with dignity and respect. As a Charge Nurse, you will make a real difference to the lives of your patients, their families and your team.

Experience in producing well‑developed care plans and risk assessments is important, as is up‑to‑date knowledge of recent clinical practices and regulatory frameworks, including DoLs/MCA and Royal Pharmaceutical guidelines. We will also look for extensive nursing experience in a mental health setting, in particular caring for patients with dementia. You will be a natural leader who has acted as a clinical mentor, including supporting newly qualified nurses through their preceptorship. Dedicated, ambitious and resilient, you will have a strong track record of delivering improvements to achieve quality care.
