Job overview

Divisional Senior Clinical Leader - Lincolnshire 

At East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust, we are committed to delivering excellent patient care and exploring opportunities for continuous service delivery improvements. As part of our Reshaping Operations programme, a new role of Divisional Senior Clinical Leader was established and an exciting opportunity has become available to join the team in South Lincolnshire. The role will be accountable to the Divisional Head/s of Operations but will also form a key, professional relationship with the Divisional Senior Manager (Quality).

 

You will be responsible for establishing and embedding a supportive, motivational and compassionate leadership culture across the station based operational teams. This is a key leadership role in supporting EMAS to deliver its vision and values. This role will support the Trust’s approach to clinical leadership, quality assurance and quality improvement and identifies priorities in the five domains of quality, aligned with the Care Quality Commission regulatory framework; caring, responsive, effective, well-led and safe.

Main duties of the job

You will be responsible for the direct clinical development, support, supervision and leadership of a team of operational staff. This includes staff in a preceptorship period, university entrants and staff requiring additional support and / or supervision. The DSCL roles will be allocated to defined areas and groups of stations, working closely with Station Managers (SMs) to deliver the clinical and quality metrics and outcomes. The DSCL will be responsible for the clinical elements of the appraisal for clinical staff, working in conjunction with the SM team as part of the station management model.

As an experienced senior clinician, the DSCL will respond operationally whilst supervising and mentoring staff on their performance, behaviour and clinical ability. Assurances of clinical quality and standards will be gained through planned observation shifts with clinical staff. The DSCL may be called upon to support staff from within their Division or from across the Trust at critical incidents and provide both clinical leadership and additional clinical interventions (based upon scope of practice), as a senior clinician. Operationally the role will  work across 7 days with a requirement to work out of hours and weekends to support operational delivery.

Working for our organisation

You will work as part of a committed team of senior clinical leaders all with the vision of improving quality across the division and supporting all colleagues to develop.
