Health & Justice Nursing Clinical Fellow

Band 8A (0.5 WTE Secondment)

Do you aspire to be a clinical leader of the future? Would you relish the opportunity to play a part in delivering the commitments of the long-term workforce plan and supporting regional workforce priorities in the northwest region?

The Health & Justice nursing workforce has specific challenges in terms of recruitment and retention, partly due to the challenges associated with the unique environment and partly due to a lack of visibility of the setting as a career option for pre-registration learners. The Clinical Fellow will undertake a focused programme of work to explore and understand the challenges and work with key stakeholders to identify potential solutions and recommendations.

The Clinical Fellow will be part of a cohort of Clinical Fellows from a variety of professional backgrounds. The fellowship approach includes dedicated time for personal development of leadership and other key skills as agreed with the successful candidate.  The part-time nature of the post will enable you to continue your clinical practice and put your newfound skills and understanding to use straight away. You will need to secure support from your substantive employer to release you for the duration of the secondment and to work with us to support your development.
