Along with your clinical colleagues (Director of Psychological Professions and Nurse Director) you will create a positive safety culture along with a robust quality governance framework and actively lead and manage our medical workforce across the care group. 

This role does not require you to have a specific clinical background, as a leadership and management post it allows those skills to be transferable regardless of your clinical experience.  Applications are welcome from inside our care group, within the trust and from external experienced Consultants. We have a range of vacancies across our care group and the trust as a whole so please contact me to discuss what those opportunities are.

Please contact Laura Wiltshire (details below) to book a conversation and explore the various options available.  They are currently ranging from in-patient to community across adults and older adults, as some are out to recruitment rather than list them here I can update accurately when we talk.
