Peripatetic Deputy Manager & Clinical Lead

This is a divisionally aligned role supporting a group of homes across London, Surrey and Kent.

ABOUT THE ROLE As a Peripatetic Deputy General Manager at Barchester, you’ll travel across your division to manage and develop the teams in various care homes, to help us deliver the high quality care and service we’re known for. Working closely with the General Manager or hiring manager, you’ll help implement action plans that make sure our resident’s needs are met.

Taking on leadership duties in the absence of the General Manager, you can expect to help with everything from care standards to motivating your team. You’ll inspire a multidisciplinary team to make sure they help every resident to enjoy the best possible quality of life. That means leading by example and monitoring standards through regular audits, supervised clinical practice and checking our regulatory compliance. You’ll set the highest standards and draw on your skills to develop and deliver strategies that will help you achieve your goals.

ABOUT YOU To join us as a Peripatetic Deputy General Manager (Clinical), you’ll need to be a Registered Nurse (RGN/RMN) with current NMC registration and a teaching, mentoring or supervision qualification. Previous experience of working within a nursing home setting is essential and evidence of continual professional development is also required. Experience in helping residents with different health needs is important too, as is a successful track record of managing safeguarding investigations and clinical risk assessments. We’ll also look for some HR experience, a strong knowledge of sales and marketing, an understanding of budget management, and a track record of supporting newly qualified nurses through preceptorship. You’ll be compassionate, resilient and determined to deliver quality care in our engaging and energetic environment. Finally, due to the nature of this role, you must be flexible and willing to travel.

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:

• £6,000 car allowance

• Annual bonus

• Accommodation & meal allowance when staying away from home

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