Registered Nurse & Clinical Team Leader

Registered Nurse & Clinical Team Leader
£30,000–£40,000 DOE + Annual Performance Bonus
Manchester + Community-Based

If you’re a Registered Nurse with an active NMC PIN looking for a move away from traditional ward or shift-based nursing, this is an opportunity to use your clinical experience in a role where you can have a much wider impact.

You’ll provide clinical leadership across our community-based care services, develop and support our Support Worker teams, oversee clinical quality and help ensure people with complex care needs receive safe, consistent and genuinely person-centred support in their own homes.

This is not a routine shift-based nursing role. It combines clinical leadership, staff development, quality assurance and hands-on involvement within our care packages when your expertise is needed.

Why join us?

Use your nursing qualification in a clinical leadership role where you can influence how care is delivered, rather than simply deliver the next shift.

Take genuine ownership of clinical standards, staff capability and quality across our care services.

Train, coach and develop Support Workers and see the impact of that development directly within people's homes.

Help shape and develop complex community care packages from assessment through to ongoing delivery.

Work closely with an experienced Registered Manager, Care Co-ordinator and wider management team rather than operating in isolation.

Autonomy to make clinical decisions, challenge unsafe practice and drive improvement.

Annual performance bonus.

CPD and professional development opportunities to keep your nursing and leadership skills current.

Access to 30,000+ national and local employee discounts across technology, food, travel and more.

100+ free virtual courses and live on-demand training.

Monday and Friday breakfasts in the office and a supportive, collaborative team environment.

About the role
As our Registered Nurse – Clinical Team Leader, you’ll be the day-to-day clinical lead across our care delivery.
You’ll oversee clinical safety and quality, assess and review service users, develop care plans and risk assessments, lead training and competency assessment, oversee medicines governance and provide visible leadership to our Support Worker teams.

A major part of the role is making sure our care teams have the skills, confidence, training and competency required to provide safe care.

You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll work closely with our Care Co-ordinator / Head of Compliance, who leads operational coordination, rostering and compliance systems, and our Registered Manager, who retains overall regulatory and governance oversight.

The role involves a flexible mix of time in our Manchester office and visiting care packages across the community. There isn’t a rigid office/field split — some weeks will require more time with teams and service users, while others will involve more training, clinical governance and office-based work.

You’ll also participate in our on-call rota. Very occasionally, where the normal care team and wider bank have been exhausted, you may be required to support emergency shift cover as a last-resort contingency.

Must have a full UK driving licence .

Complete clinical assessments for new service users and contribute to the safe set-up of new packages.
