Senior Nurse - Care Home

About the Role

As a Senior Nurse at a Barchester care home, you will use your leadership skills to ensure residents receive the quality care Barchester is known for. You will be a hands‑on clinical leader, creating a safe and supportive environment for residents with a range of mental and physical needs. You will use your professional judgement to make critical clinical decisions—from assessing the needs of a new resident to implementing safeguarding policies and administering medicines in line with NMC regulations.

As part of your responsibilities, you will support and mentor your team to ensure they have the clinical training needed to deliver the highest standards of nursing. As a Senior Nurse (General), you will have the freedom and autonomy to do things the right way and be truly valued and respected for what you do.

To join us as a Senior Nurse you will need to be a Registered Nurse (RGN/RMN) with a current NMC registration and a mentoring or supervision qualification. Experience in producing care plans and detailed risk assessments is important, as is up‑to‑date knowledge of the most recent clinical practices.

We also look for an understanding of regulatory frameworks, including DoLs/MCA and Royal Pharmaceutical guidelines. You should be a natural leader and problem solver who has worked with older people and acted as a clinical mentor, including supporting newly qualified nurses through their preceptorship. Dedicated, ambitious and resilient, you should have a strong track record of delivering improvements to achieve quality care.

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

• Free learning and development
• Automatic enrolment into our profit share scheme
• A range of holiday, retail and leisure discounts
• Nurse Mentor and Refer a Friend bonus schemes
• Offer to pay Skilled Worker visa application fee for eligible nurses

If you would like to use your clinical and people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care you would expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding and empowering place to be.
