Registered Nurse

As a Registered Nurse (RGN / RMN / RNLD), you will be responsible for ensuring residents receive high-quality nursing care, including:

Resident wishes are placed at the heart of everything we do. Every one of us

makes a difference. Quality Care with Kindness and Teamwork are the values that

underpin everything we do.

You will professionally lead the clinical and care team during any span of duty,

ensuring a safe, effective, and efficient nursing service that meets our

residents' holistic needs. You will provide exceptional clinical care in

accordance with assessed needs, ensuring strict compliance with the Nursing and

Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of Conduct and industry-leading standards.

Key responsibilities are to provide clinical leadership for the care team and

act as a champion for residents' safety, clinical governance, and dignity. You

will maintain your skills, professional knowledge, and NMC registration,

ensuring all complex nursing and personal care are delivered according to the

latest guidelines and best practice evidence. You will ensure the ongoing

safety of residents, colleagues, and visitors through systematic clinical

assessment, risk monitoring, and robust care reviews. It is vital to maintain

clear, accurate, and legally defensible records, utilize effective

communication systems, and act as a role model for excellent governance

practice.

In this role, you will deliver effective leadership during

your shift, offering direct support, guidance, and supervision for senior

carers and the care team. You will supervise nursing and care colleagues on a

day-to-day basis and

liaise with GPs, social workers, and multidisciplinary health professionals to

secure optimal care. You will demand high-quality, evidence-based care delivery

focused on residents' individual choices, promoting a professional image

through excellent communication, appropriate behaviour, and appearance.

Furthermore, you will support new colleagues through induction programs,

competencies, and training assessments.

To maintain skills and knowledge, you will ensure care is

delivered according to the latest evidence and guidelines. You must keep up to

date with professional developments, revalidation requirements, and best

practice in older people and dementia care. This includes undertaking

statutory, mandatory, and advanced clinical training, sharing your learning

across daily practice. You will oversee and deliver daily clinical care,

including complex wound management, pressure area prevention, syringe drivers, nutrition,

and infection control. You also take full responsibility for the safe, legal

administration, storage, and recording of medication in accordance with NMC

guidelines and The Ingleborough Nursing Home Policies and Procedures, acting

always within your professional scope of practice.

To ensure safe environments, you will develop, implement,

and evaluate detailed clinical care plans using validated tools such as MUST,

Waterlow, falls assessments, fluid or nutrition charts, and blood glucose

monitoring. You will report and investigate all accidents, incidents, and

near-misses promptly, ensuring reports are written clearly and concisely so

that remedial learning is immediately integrated. You will promote

activity-based, person-centred care to support resident independence.

Additionally, you will maintain infection control standards, protect residents'

property, and ensure clinical equipment is safe, clean, and fully functional,

reporting faults immediately.

Governance and communication require you to maintain

accurate records and align daily practice with company policies, regulatory

guidelines, and CQC frameworks. You will ensure effective, clearly documented

handover systems facilitate the seamless transfer of clinical information

between shifts, and actively participate in clinical and team meetings. You

must thoroughly understand the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of

Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) regarding consent and best-interest decision-making. Professional

updates must be provided to residents and relatives while remaining strictly

mindful of data protection, confidentiality, and Caldicott principles,

maintaining a high standard of clinical record keeping under the Health and

Social Care Act.

For Safeguarding Adults and the Mental Capacity Act, you

will complete required training to confidently implement safeguarding policies,

taking responsibility for reporting concerns to the senior person on duty,

Registered Manager, or Nominated Individual in line with the North Yorkshire

Safeguarding Adults Board (NYSAB) frameworks.

Regarding Health and Safety, under the Health and Safety at

Work Act, you must take reasonable care of the health and safety of yourself

and others affected by your acts or omissions. You will co-operate with your

employer to ensure compliance with legislation and organisational procedures,

never misusing equipment provided for welfare, and ensuring adequate measures

protect all staff through a well-maintained, safe environment.

You will respect strict confidentiality

in line with the Data Protection Act. This includes processing electronic and

paper care data fairly and lawfully, holding data only for specified purposes,

and disclosing it only to authorised parties. This list of duties is not

exhaustive, and you may be required to undertake other relevant clinical duties

as reasonably required, as this job description is subject to regular review.
