ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Divisional Clinical Development Nurse (RGN) at Barchester, you’ll lead, support and continuously improve the clinical governance and quality of care for patients in our six Mental Health Hospitals across England.

You’ll be expected to support the performance of each hospital ensuring it performs to the highest clinical standards. Reviewing the clinical governance database and KPIs of each home every month, you’ll analyse the results and identify practical strategies to make sure all regulations are met – and ensure we continually improve the care we deliver, too.

Working closely with the Director, improvement specialists and senior clinical staff in each service, you’ll support the continual improvement of standards and help implement key actions to address any issues which arise. Whether you’re organising new training, helping attract key senior clinical staff, or delivering clinical investigations, your leadership skills and passion for delivering the best will make a real difference to the patients in our care.

Due to the divisional nature of this role a willingness for regular travel is essential.

ABOUT YOU

To join us as a Divisional Clinical Development Nurse at Barchester, you’ll need to be a Registered Nurse (RGN) with a current NMC registration. You must also provide evidence of continued professional development and have a strong understanding of current regulatory requirements. An experienced nurse, you’ll have worked in a Mental Health Hospital environment and are a confident clinical mentor, including with newly-qualified nurses. Your leadership skills, sharp analytical mind and the ability to share knowledge, build relationships, and deliver on your action plans enables you to deliver impressive results.

REWARDS PACKAGE

As well as a competitive salary, Barchester offers one of the best rewards packages in the care sector. Your generous benefits would include:

• Company car or car allowance, mobile phone and laptop
• Annual bonus, a range of holiday, retail and leisure discounts
• Learning and development opportunities
