Job description

Clinical Strategy Manager – Tissue Viability

Circa £60,000 + company car/car allowance

National | Field Based

Are you a senior Tissue Viability Nurse or wound care specialist looking for an opportunity to take your expertise beyond the frontline?

Would you like to use your clinical experience to influence practice, education, innovation and patient outcomes at a national level?

This could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

We are working with an established healthcare organisation to appoint a Clinical Strategy Manager – Tissue Viability.

This is a high-profile national role for an experienced clinical specialist who wants to broaden their influence while retaining their professional identity and clinical expertise.

Rather than being limited to one service or organisation, you'll have the opportunity to engage with senior NHS stakeholders, tissue viability leaders, clinical networks and key opinion leaders across the UK.

You’ll be the clinical voice within the organisation, helping translate frontline insight, evidence and NHS priorities into meaningful education, innovation and strategic development.

Why consider the role?

This is an opportunity to make your expertise count on a much broader stage.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Influence senior NHS clinical stakeholders
• Shape evidence-based approaches to wound care
• Lead advanced education and clinical training
• Contribute to product evaluation and innovation
• Support quality improvement and evidence generation
• Build relationships across national tissue viability networks
• Lead and facilitate a Clinical Advisory Board
• Represent the organisation at conferences and professional events
• Work alongside commercial, product, marketing and regulatory teams

Importantly, you'll retain your clinical independence and professional identity, while gaining exposure to strategy, innovation and the wider healthcare landscape.

What you'll be doing

As the senior clinical voice for tissue viability and wound care, you'll provide expert input across complex wound management, skin integrity and pressure damage prevention.

You’ll lead high-level clinical discussions with NHS organisations and multidisciplinary teams and develop trusted relationships with senior clinical and non‑clinical stakeholders.

You’ll also:

• Design and deliver advanced education programmes, workshops and clinical training
• Support internal teams to communicate clinical evidence accurately
• Develop clinically robust resources and educational materials
• Lead clinical governance around product evaluations, audits, case studies and evidence generation
• Use clinical insight to influence product and portfolio strategy
• Identify opportunities to improve patient outcomes and reduce unwarranted variation
• Build relationships with tissue viability leaders, clinical networks and key opinion leaders
• Chair or facilitate the Clinical Advisory Board
• Represent the organisation at professional meetings, conferences and exhibitions

What we're looking for

Strong wound care / tissue viability experience is essential.

This is a senior specialist position and we're looking for an accomplished clinician who has genuine expertise in complex wound management, tissue viability, pressure damage and skin integrity.

You’ll ideally be a Registered Nurse with current NMC registration and a recognised post‑registration qualification in tissue viability, wound care or a closely related speciality, or equivalent demonstrable expertise.

You’ll also need:

• Significant senior specialist experience in tissue viability or complex wound care
• Experience comparable to NHS Band 8 level or above
• At least five years' relevant experience
• Strong knowledge of complex wound assessment and management
• Experience across acute, community or integrated care pathways
• A track record of leading education, audit, pathway development, service improvement or evidence‑generation activity
• Experience influencing senior clinical and non‑clinical stakeholders
• Excellent presentation, communication and facilitation skills
• The confidence to engage with audiences from frontline clinicians through to executive‑level stakeholders
• A strong understanding of evidence‑based practice, clinical governance and NHS priorities

Experience within medical devices, life sciences or an NHS/industry partnership would be advantageous, as would publication, research, conference presentation or clinical advisory experience.
