This is an exciting opportunity to use your nursing leadership skills to make a real difference every day. Join us as our new Unit Manager at Wytham Lodge care home in Burnley.

In this role, you’ll work at a senior level, under the leadership of the Clinical Nurse Manager, to manage a team of nursing and care colleagues, drive quality and maintain high standards of care on your unit.

As a Registered Nurse with us, you’ll be empowered to really make a difference.

Our high staffing levels give you the time to provide truly person-centred nursing care, with a supportive team around you.

And our excellent training and career development pathways support you to be the best Nurse you can be.

As a Unit Manager with Exemplar Health Care, you’ll be at the forefront of clinical care delivery for the people living on your designated unit.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Lead your unit’s care and nursing teams to ensure we meet the medical, physical and emotional needs of the people we support

• Oversee and manage all your unit’s clinical elements and risks

• Act as the Named Nurse for residents allocated to you, with responsibility for the oversight, review and update of their care profiles
• Supervise and manage your unit’s ordering, handling, storage, administration, recording and disposal of medication

Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You’ll be a natural role model with the ability to manage your unit’s team of Registered Nurses, Nurse Associates and Health Care Assistants.

We require a first‑level nursing registration with a valid Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) PIN.
