This role offers the opportunity to drive clinical excellence, lead service transformation, and work collaboratively across health and social care to deliver high-quality, person-centred care.

We will expect you to be able to provide clear clinical leadership and oversight of the professional support and development of AHP staff, together with the equitable allocation of resources across multiple sites This will include advising on the implications of service change impacting on the developing of neighbourhoods and additional changes within the service development within the clinical area. Contribute to policy development and the achievement of the Directorates overall objectives and Trust strategy and manage a small clinical case load if required.
