Key areas of responsibility include:

Clinical & Service Leadership

Lead the overall operation and management of the nursing home
Act as Person in Charge in accordance with the Health Act 2007 and HIQA standards
Ensure delivery of safe, high-quality, person-centred care
Lead service improvement, quality initiatives and governance processes
Promote a culture of excellence, accountability and continuous improvement

Team Leadership

Lead, support and develop multidisciplinary teams
Drive staff engagement, development and performance
Support recruitment, induction and workforce planning
Foster a positive and collaborative working environment

Quality, Compliance & Governance

Maintain readiness for HIQA inspections and regulatory requirements
Oversee audits, action plans and quality monitoring
Ensure policies, procedures and standards are implemented effectively
Promote best practice and resident safety across all areas of care

What We're Looking For

Essential Requirements

Registered Nurse with full NMBI registration
Evidence of continuous professional development
Minimum 3 years out of the last 6 years in an aged care setting at management level within health and social care
Post-registration management qualification in health or a related field
Strong knowledge of HIQA standards and Irish healthcare regulations

Desirable Experience

Quality management and audit experience
Service development and strategic planning experience
Human resource and budget management experience
Experience leading teams through change and improvement initiatives

Join Us
