Are you an experienced Registered Nurse ready to take the next step into senior leadership while remaining closely connected to clinical practice?
We're recruiting for a Clinical Deputy Manager to join a highly respected, values-led care provider with an exceptional reputation for delivering outstanding elderly, dementia and end-of-life care. This is a rare opportunity to join an organisation where quality of care genuinely comes before commercial targets, giving clinical leaders the autonomy, support and time to focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional outcomes for residents and developing high-performing teams.
If you're passionate about leading from the front, inspiring others, and driving continuous improvement, this could be the perfect role for you.
The Role As Clinical Deputy Manager, you'll work alongside the Home Manager to provide clinical leadership across the service, supporting both residents and colleagues while maintaining the highest standards of nursing practice.
Your responsibilities will include:
Providing clinical leadership and oversight across the home
Supporting, coaching and developing Registered Nurses and care teams
Leading on clinical governance, quality improvement and CQC compliance
Deputising for the Home Manager when required
Delivering hands-on nursing support to residents when needed
Supporting recruitment, onboarding and retention of clinical staff
Driving best practice in dementia, frailty, long-term conditions and end-of-life care
Championing person-centred, compassionate care throughout the serviceWhat We're Looking For

At least 12 months in a senior nursing role within a care home environment

Genuine long-term career progression opportunitiesWhy This Opportunity Stands Out Senior clinical opportunities offering a reduced working week, extensive development support and the backing of a not-for-profit organisation are increasingly rare. This role provides the chance to make a meaningful impact while working within a culture that prioritises people, quality and continuous improvement.
