Compass Associates are proud to be working in partnership with a premium care provider to recruit a Night Clinical Manager (RGN) for a large and well-regarded nursing home in Buxton. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced nurse leader looking to step into a visible night management role within a clinically complex elderly care environment. The successful candidate will work closely with the Home Manager to provide strong overnight leadership, maintain high clinical standards, and help support the wider culture and development of the home. The service is a circa 70+ bed care home providing a mix of residential care, residential dementia care, nursing dementia care, end-of-life care, and advanced nursing care. The home is fully occupied and supports residents with a range of complex clinical needs including tracheostomy care, PEG care, stoma care, and palliative care. This role will suit a confident, hands-on and clinically credible nurse who is comfortable leading from the floor, supporting night teams, and helping to drive a positive culture within the home. Personality and leadership presence are just as important as clinical capability for this appointment.
