What This Job Isn’t

• A documentation exercise. A compliant-looking artefact set that doesn’t reflect the real system is the failure mode, not the goal.
• A policy or audit role at a distance from delivery.

Core Duties and Responsibilities

Clinical risk management delivery

• Act as named CSO for an allocated portfolio, across our manufacturer (DCB0129) and deploying (DCB0160) roles.
• Produce and maintain the Clinical Risk Management Plan, Hazard Log and Clinical Safety Case Report for each system.
• Facilitate multidisciplinary hazard identification and risk scoring workshops, and keep the log current between them.
• Specify controls, agree named owners, and verify implementation and effectiveness separately before go-live.

Assurance Of What We Buy And What We Build

• Assess supplier safety evidence: DCB0129, DTAC, device status where relevant and state what is held, what is missing and what risk that leaves.
• Engage Product and Engineering from concept, not at release: in the room before release scope is agreed, reassessing hazards as the build moves.
• Input to business cases, procurement and new-system triage, so scoping happens before deployment.

Safety in live service

• Review safety incidents, assess their impact on the affected safety case, and maintain the Safety Incident Management Log.
• Assess changes proportionately and reissue a safety case report wherever clinical risk changes.
• Keep the estate register and the monthly safety position accurate enough to act on.

AI-augmented clinical safety practice

• Use AI to accelerate and improve our clinical safety work.
• Treat everything AI produces as candidate analysis, subject to your review and multidisciplinary validation before it enters an approved artefact. Making that boundary auditable is part of the job.
• Contribute to assurance of AI-enabled products: such as an AI scribe in live clinical use and maintaining the Clinical AI Risk Register.

Optional Bonus Responsibilities

• Deputy Clinical Safety Officer cover, so documentation can be approved when the Director is unavailable.
• Supporting clinical safety for our India operation, where the regulatory position differs.

To Thrive in this Role, You’ll need

Core Skills And Qualifications

• A registered clinician with current registration with an appropriate professional body (GMC, NMC, HCPC or equivalent).
• Accredited Clinical Safety Officer training

Experience

• Risk management experience applied to clinical domains: hazard identification, severity and likelihood, risk acceptability, control verification
• Hands-on production of DCB0129/0160 artefacts: not only reviewing or commissioning them and facilitating hazard workshops with mixed clinical and technical groups.
• Experience of agile or fast-moving delivery, where the system changes continually.
• Writing an exec can act on: someone accepting residual risk should understand exactly what they’re accepting.

Desirable

• Digital mental health or neurodevelopmental services; AI-enabled health products; being the first or only safety person somewhere; medical device regulation as a regime separate from the DCB standards.

Behaviours and Culture Add, not just Culture Fit

Care is at the heart of who we are - in how we support patients, and in how we treat each other as colleagues. We believe the way we show up for each other is just as important as what we do.

• Partner with Integrity

What Success Looks Like
