The new clinical leads will be integral in leading this team, and have the exciting opportunity to shape our services through co-production with our service users and staff teams., As an enthusiastic and motivated clinical lead you will provide clinical guidance and expertise to the nurses and health care assistants. You will work closely alongside the ward manager and wider MDT to ensure that evidence based, high quality care is delivered at all times and staff have the appropriate skills and support to be able to achieve this.

You will be an excellent role model to the staff that you supervise and to the wider MDT, and will nurture junior members of staff in the development of strong nursing team.

You will receive support from the modern matron, service manager and the wider senior leadership team, and will work to clinically lead and develop the service at a ward level providing assurance to senior leadership around quality improvement and patient safety.
