Step into a role where your expertise can be used to make every day better for the people we support.

This is an exciting opportunity to work for a forward-thinking and growing provider, as our Huntington’s Disease Specialist Nurse.

As a key member of our Clinical Team, you’ll work closely with our Clinical Director, to play a central role in elevating the standard of care for people living with Huntington’s Disease (HD) across our homes.

This is your chance to make a profound impact every day, driving exceptional practice and championing outstanding outcomes.

Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs. That insight shaped the mission we still live by today - to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most.

We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro-disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities.

Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better for the people we support. The people we support have unique needs and stories, but one thing stays the same across all our homes - we empower individuals to achieve personal goals in a safe and supportive environment.

Every new colleague attends an induction to learn about our company and complete mandatory and role-specific training, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional care.

Whether your goals are in care, nursing, management, quality or support, we provide the confidence, skills and knowledge to help you excel in your role and advance your career, if you wish.

Happy, healthy colleagues mean better care for those we support. We offer a range of initiatives to ensure our colleagues thrive in safe and supportive environments.

From paid RCNi Learning access and NMC PIN payments for nurses to lifestyle and retail discounts for everyone, our rewards ensure your career is as fulfilling as it is rewarding.

• establishing a complete understanding of the needs of the people in our homes who have a HD primary diagnosis i.e., what is their secondary diagnoses, their complex care and risk requirements
• tailoring colleague training requirements to meet the needs of people in a person-centred way, as well as supporting in the delivery of this training
• developing and embedding a HD Champion role, and support these Champions to link directly with their local HD networks
• working with the Operational Team (Clinical Nurse Managers / Registered Nurses and HD Champions) to offer support and coach
• assisting with the development of quality policies and procedures, audit materials and Service User, Colleague and Relative information materials.
• building external brand reputation in our ability to care for the people we support with HD

Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our Exemplar Health Care values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You must also have a first-level nursing registration with a valid Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) PIN.
